Sacred Sites of Japan

This collection spans Japan's Chubu region, featuring historically significant sites from the 7th-century Zenkoji in Nagano to the ancient Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya, which houses the sacred sword Kusanagi. The list highlights architectural diversity, including the 'Ninja Temple' (Myoryuji) with its hidden passages, the rock-cut meditation caves of Natadera, and Eihei-ji, a primary center for Soto Zen Buddhism. Many sites, such as Kunouzan Toshogu and Kawaguchi Asama, are integral to Japan’s national heritage and the spiritual history of Mount Fuji.
