楼門(夏)

Keep this one a secret! A power spot hidden gem.

Located at the entrance of Mount Kōya, Niutsuhime Shrine was once a must before people paid their respects at Mount Kōya. The first thing to draw the eye is the Wheel Bridge, which is said to be the bridge that Yodo proffered up in order for the gods to cross. The tower gate seen from the top of the Wheel Bridge is also a great place to take photos. Also, there are golden dog fortunes sold only during the Year of the Dog - surely a sign of good luck!

Itakiso Shrine 紀伊國一宮

10min

A shrine that worships the god Itakeru as mentioned in the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan)

There you can find a section of a once divine cedar tree, and it is said to be able to ward off disaster if you pass under its fork. It is customary to do so when visiting the shrine, so definitely give it a try. Incidentally, you can also stand up in the middle of the fork. Also, the "water of life" which springs from the well from within the mountains in the temple grounds is also reputed for its numerous benefits.
