Himukai Daijingu Shrine

This shrine is believed to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Kenzo (traditionally believed to have reigned 485-487 or so) when the deities on the holy site on the peak of Takachiho in Himuka, in the province of Tsukushi (now part of Fukuoka Prefecture) was relocated.
The Inner Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess and highest-ranking deity in State Shinto, and the Triple Goddess of Munakata (deities of safety at sea or on the road), while the Outer Shrine enshrines Ninigi-no-Mikoto (kami of farming) and Amenominakanushi (the first kami and the source of the universe). The other shrines throughout the grounds enshrine various deities closely connected with both Inner and Outer Shrines.
The mountain abode of this “God of the Sun” was named Kamiyama (Sun Mountain, also the same word as “God Mountain”) by Emperor Tenchi, and it was later known as Hinomiyama (Honorable Mountain of the Sun) or Shinmeiyama (Mountain of the Light of the Gods).
An epidemic swept the land in the Jogan period (859-877 or so) during the Heian Period (794-1185). The emperor prayed at the shrine and the gods responded, telling his to offer the pure waters of the shrine’s grounds to the people. This cured the epidemic, and so Emperor Seiwa named this spring “Asahi Izumi” (Spring of the Morning Sun), and offered prayers at the Himukai Shrine.
The shrine buildings and ancient records were lost to fire during the Onin War (1467-1477), but Matsui Tozaemon from the village of Matsuzaka constructed a temporary shrine and rebuilt the buildings. In the Keicho period (1596-1615 or so) Noro Munemitsu from Ise reconstructed the shrine, having been sent a vision from the gods in a dream.
In the old days, it was always bustling as a place to pray for safety along the Tokaido Highway, and as an alternative to having to travel all the way to the Grand Shrine of Ise.
