Kirishima Shrine is known as one of South Kyushu's leading "power spots" and is located at the foot of the Kirishima Mountains in Kirishima, a group of volcanoes that were the first ones to be designated as a national park in Japan, known as the land of Tenson Korin in Japanese mythology where the gods descended to Japan. The shrine was originally near the mythical birthplace of Takachiho, but it was repeatedly relocated due to fires caused by volcanic eruptions. It was rebuilt in its present location 300 years ago.
