【The Path of Light in Usa Jingu】✨

The Chokushi Kaido (“imperial messenger road”) is a historic road leading to Usa Jingu Shrine that has long been traversed by chokushi, messengers who deliver offerings and read prayers to the shrine deities on behalf of the emperor; recently, also known as the "The Path of Light."😲

Usa Jingu Shrine is the head shrine of approximately 40,000 Hachiman shrines nationwide. You can have the best view of "The Path of Light" twice a year, approximately from April 27 to May 3 and from August 10 to 15, when the street aligns perfectly with the sunset.😎

Usa Jingu Shrine holds significant religious importance in Japan, as Minamoto no Yoritomo, the sh**un of the Kamakura period, revered the Hachiman deity as his guardian god. The shrine is believed to protect family safety and bring victory.✌️

Additionally, Usa Jingu is the birthplace of the portable shrine (mikoshi). It is said that in the 8th century, the Hachiman deity traveled from Usa to Nara using a mikoshi on his way to Todai-ji Temple.

In the year 2025 (Reiwa 7), there will be a great celebration of the 1300th anniversary of the Hachiman deity's enshrinement in the main hall, including the grand ceremony of chokushi, which takes place only once every ten years!😲

Minami Churomon Gate (a tangible cultural property designated by Oita Prefecture), which is the most iconic building of Usa Jingu, is expected to complete its renovation by the end of March 2025. Making it a great opportunity to visit Usa Jingu Shrine.🙌
