Golden Week pt 9 - Eda Shrine.

Our last shrine of the trip, the fifth in two, count 'em, TWO, days.

Eda Shrine, considered the home/birthplace/arrival of the gods Izanami and Izanagi in Japan. Think Adam and Eve, but with superpowers.

Via Tokyo Weekender:

Eda Shrine was selected as one of the official shrines of Japan in 837 AD. It is located in Awakigahara, a place believed to be the birthplace of the gods.

This was actually the shrine BEHIND the shrine. Well, kinda down the path past some trees and behind the shrine.





This actually marks the spot the two gods came to earth.

Which makes sense, cause it's the high ground, on top of a hill.

And where else would the aliens land their interplanetary spacecraft, I ask you?







And, we're done.
