The deity is Amenowaharu no Mikoto, the son of the deity of Nakasha, Amenohachimisakanemikoto. It is said to bring benefits for arts, safe childbirth, and warding off evil. It is believed to have been established in the first year of K\u014dhei (1058) and is an ancient shrine that serves as the head shrine of Togakushi faith, which combines mountain worship, ascetic practices, and Shinto. After climbing over 200 stone steps, a majestic shrine building comes into view. The Gongen-zukuri shrine building, built in the late Edo period, features carvings of dragons on the pillars and beams of the worship hall that are a must-see. The picturesque townscape in front of H\u014dk\u014dsha, lined with lodging houses, along with the Nakasha area, has been designated as an Important Traditional Building Preservation District by the national government.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":205117,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-278200","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/278200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/278200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
