Kono Shrine (Motoise Kono Jinja)

元伊勢籠神社

Kyoto · Kansai

A shrine legendarily said to be the former enshrinement site of Amaterasu and Toyouke before they moved to Ise — hence "Moto-Ise" (original Ise).

Why we picked it

A direct link to Ise Jingu's own mythology that almost no visitor connects to Amanohashidate.
