Yamura Shrine

阿蘇市一の宮町宮地

3.7(19)

This shrine enshrines Takeiwatatsu-no-Mikoto, the main deity of Aso Shrine. It is also known as the guardian deity of the Aso Omiya family (the chief priestly lineage of Aso Shrine).

History

According to legend, when Takeiwatatsu-no-Mikoto was determining the site for his palace during the development of the Aso region, he released an arrow from his beloved bow. The place where the arrow landed was designated as the site for the palace. The stone struck by the arrow is called Miyabishi (Sacred Arrow Stone), and the surrounding area is known as Miyamura (Sacred Arrow Village).

Located at the end of a narrow path leading from the shopping street in front of Aso Shrine, this quiet shrine stands behind impressive stone walls. A small stream within the grounds is home to fireflies, contributing to the serene atmosphere. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are not available.
