Day 8 - Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine in Takamori, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.

This shrine is famous for being the setting of a popular anime and manga comic Hotarubi no Morie. This atmospheric shrine is hidden among the cypress forests surrounding Takamori, a small town at the foot of Mt. Aso. About 100 moss-covered toro, or stone lanterns, line the steps to the shrine. Behind the main hall, another path leads up to a large sacred stone called Ugetoiwa, with a 10-meter hole right through it.

Best ramen in Kumamoto.

Happy Traveling!
