The Kamoshikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine is as difficult to find as its name is to pronounce. The shrine is hidden among the forests surrounding Takamori, a small town that lies in the Aso region of Kumamoto Prefecture. This shrine is well-known among locals as a power spot, and this is not surprising for it has a highly spiritual atomosphere. Those who visit the shrine and touch the Hogeto Iwa Stone are said to be granted good luck, and the shrines sacred Nagi Tree is said to protect relationships. This shrine is also the inspiration of the manga ”Into the Forest of Fireflies’ Light” written by Yuki Midorikawa.
