Udo Jingu Miyazaki
Walter LanzUdo Jingu Miyazki, a mythical Shinto Shrine surrounded by beautiful scenery
Le sanctuaire Udo Jingu est l'un des rares sanctuaires côtiers du Japon et est situé le long de la côte de Nichinan au sud de la ville de Miyazaki. Surplombant l'océan Pacifique, le chemin menant au sanctuaire est bordé de belles portes "Torii" et flanqué de rivages rocheux. Ce sanctuaire aux couleurs vives se trouve sur le flanc d'une falaise surplombant l'océan pour des vues spectaculaires.
Le sanctuaire Udo Jingu est dédié au culte de Yamasachihiko, le père de l'empereur Jimmu. L'empereur Jimmu est l'un des personnages historiques les plus importants du Japon, considéré comme le premier empereur du pays - la famille royale actuelle serait ses descendants
The outer gate of Udo Jingu Shrine is called Shin-mon. Shin-mon marks the entrance to the realm of the gods, signifying to visitors that they are now entering a sacred space.
Marked with a circular rope is the famous Turtle Rock, where visitors to Udo Jingu are encouraged to throw their clay Undama balls into the center of the rock. The lucky Undama can be purchased at the shrine itself, and it is recommended for men to throw with their left hand and women to throw with their right. Landing an Undama in the center of the Turtle Rock is said to make your wishes come true.
This dripping stone structure got its unique name from a myth involving Toyotama-Hime — the daughter of the god of the sea, who gave birth in this cave. During childbirth, she asked her husband to refrain from looking at her non-human form, but he did so anyway which resulted in her needing to return home to her father and leave her family behind. Before she left, she removed her breasts and stuck them onto the walls of the Udo Jingu cave — in order to let her children remember her when they grow up. Now, the water that drips from the Ochichi Iwa is used to make a local confectionary called Ochichi-Ame; which is believed to improve the production of breast milk for expectant mothers and bring good luck to those trying to start a family.
