ภาพรวม
This shrine sits across a ravine from the actual cave where, according to Japan's creation myth, the sun goddess Amaterasu hid after her brother Susanoo's violent behavior, plunging the world into darkness. The cave (Amano Iwato) is the shrine's goshintai and can only be viewed on guided tours led by shrine priests. The nearby Amano Yasukawara cave, where the gods gathered to plan how to coax Amaterasu out, is a deeply atmospheric stone-stacked grotto.
