Overview

Manai Shrine has been a place of worship for centuries, serving as the inner shrine of Kago Shrine. It is believed that before Kago Shrine was established, Manai Shrine was the main shrine, lending it a significant historical presence. Surrounded by lush nature, the shrine grounds are filled with a tranquil silence, offering a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life. Within the grounds lies an "Iwaza," a rock formation that has served as a sacred place of worship since the Jomon period, creating an atmosphere of profound sanctity. This "Iwaza" attests to the ancient reverence of this site. The sacred spring water, "Ten no Manai no Mizu," is also found here. This water has long been believed to possess healing properties, and many people still visit to collect it. Manai Shrine is truly a power spot, a harmonious blend of history and nature. It's the perfect place for those seeking a quiet and peaceful escape.
