Vue d'ensemble

Haruna Shrine in Takasaki, Gunma, is one of the most dramatically sited sacred places in the region, built into a narrow ravine on the slopes of Mount Haruna. It enshrines Kagutsuchi, the fire deity, and Haniyamahime, the pottery goddess, and is said to have been established in 586. The main hall sits directly beneath the colossal Misugata Rock, and the approach through ancient cedars, waterfalls, and sheer cliffs creates a profoundly atmospheric pilgrimage experience.
