Iwafune Jinjya (the Iwafune Shrine) worships Nigihayashi no Mikoto <\/em>who was a grandchild of Amaterasu Omikami<\/em>. It is said that Nigihayashi no Mikoto\u00a0came to this place\u00a0from the air by Ame no Iwafune<\/em>. The size was 12 meter\u00a0(height) x 12 meter\u00a0(width). Then Ame no Iwafune<\/em> became a huge rock. The Iwafune Shrine was built in front of the huge rock.<\/p>\n

The shrine has a rocky cave. Since the medieval era, many practitioners of Shinto <\/em>and Shugendo<\/em>\u00a0visited the\u00a0rocky cave\u00a0for training their bodies and souls. You can challenge it even now.<\/p>\n

Pleae note that the inside of the rocky cave is very dark and slippy. If wearing summer wears such as a t-shirt and short pants, you may not be allowed to entre into the\u00a0cave. Please\u00a0ask\u00a0staff of the shrine whether to\u00a0get in\u00a0the cave before challenging.<\/strong><\/p>\n
