Traveler highlights
Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine is in Takamori, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture. A lush hillside path lined with stone lanterns leads to the shrine and the natural arch of Ugeto-iwa Rock. Local legend connects the opening in the rock to the giant Kihachi kicking through it. The shrine brings together ancient rock worship and Kumano faith, and is thought to date from the late Kamakura to Muromachi periods. Walking uphill into the forest, the shrine, lanterns and immense rock formations shape the visit. Although it appears in the Fukuoka list, it is actually in Kumamoto, so allow for the inter-prefecture distance.
