Kirishima Jingu stands at the foot of sacred Mt. Kirishima, the mythological site where Ninigi-no-Mikoto descended from heaven to found the Japanese imperial line (tenson korin). The entire mountain range is considered the shrine's grounds. Destroyed repeatedly by volcanic eruptions, the shrine was relocated to its current verdant forest setting in the 18th century. In 2022, its main hall was newly designated a National Treasure — the first such designation for a shrine building in Kagoshima.
