Kotohiragu Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Golden Sword Hira Palace, nicknamed "Kim Biro", is located on the mountainside of Mount Kotohira and is dedicated to the God of God and Emperor Zonde. The long stone steps of the pilgrimage road are very famous, and there are 1368 steps to the inner shrine (Yankun Shrine). Climb to level 365 and you will reach the gate of the "two-story building into the mother house" structure. From the gate is the shrine grounds, and you can take the stone steps to carry the sedan chair like in the Edo period. On both sides of the road before the gate, souvenir shops, restaurants, etc. are lined up, and crutches are also rented out. Going through the gate, there are five confectionary shops "Five Renmin" with umbrellas lined up. It is a historical small shop that was licensed to operate in the shrine grounds due to the merits of the ancestors. Climbing up the stone steps, there are several ruins such as the main hall of the main hall, treasure hall, torii, etc., such as the Asahi Shrine with beautiful carvings on the pillars and gates, and the Shoin, which is decorated with wall paintings of Maruyama Yoshitsu and Ito Jakuchuku. The dots continue one after another, and when you reach level 785, you will arrive at the Palace. After climbing to level 1368, I finally arrived at the office, where I could have a panoramic view of Qinping's street scene. Kinto Hiragu was revered as the god of protection of the sea and the increase of agricultural production. In the Edo period, it was generally believed that it must be visited once in a lifetime, and many people from all over the country visited. At that time, there was even such a custom that people who could not visit the shrine in person would have their puppy go to the shrine on their behalf, and it was called "Kimpiro dog". It is still deeply revered and attracts many pilgrims, especially the New Year's shrine and the "Golden Sword Hira Matsuri", a regular festival in October.

One of the hardest-to-visit temples in Japan claimed by local people. Yet, it's worth visiting with nice views and good looking souvenir. Feel the japanese culture
The solemn and majestic Japanese shrine needs to go up the shrine to go through the long and long stairs, but it is worth going up the shrine to go up the stairs. There are many shops on the way, and the Shin-Ping District under the shrine is also a store and hot spring area. It is worth going to the attractions
The Golden Knife Biro Palace, located in the Siguo Qinping, is famous for 785 steps. Visitors and worshippers of the Shen Palace need to climb hundreds of steps, but these steps are not one step to the end. There will be a Shen Palace in different steps, and there are many small shops along the road. At the top, there are five people's stalls. Here is the dog as the goddess of the palace, and you can also ask for various gods as the symbol of the dog.
Since ancient times, the Golden Dao Biro Palace has been a god of seas and grains, a fruitful harvest, and a wide range of gods such as business prosperity. It is admired by the local good men and women in Japan. Known for its super long steps, there are 785 steps to the palace, 1368 steps to the Olympic Club, the mood of climbing each step is like life, and the refreshment after trying to climb over it is probably what every climber pursues. It was designated by Japan as an important tangible cultural property of the country. The area of the palace should also be a place for people to hold wedding ceremonies. We happened to see it...
The stairs as rumored were very difficult ... It takes time to climb, but while talking, the experience is quick!
