〒869-1811 熊本県阿蘇郡高森町草部２１７５
Located in Takamori Town, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture, this shrine is known as one of the Three Great Descending Shrines of Japan.
History
The main enshrined deity is Hiko-yai-no-Mikoto, the first son of Emperor Jinmu. The shrine was founded in 288 BCE (Korei 3). Its origins lie in the legend that Hiko-yai-no-Mikoto slew a giant serpent in a local pond and established his residence here, which is why it is recognized as one of the Three Great Descending Shrines of Japan.
