On Miyake Island, the scars of "volcanoes" and "shrines" are "Shiitori Shrine".

Original Text

Speaking of the claw marks of "volcanoes" and "shrines" on Miyake Island, it is "Shiitori Shrine". With the 2000 eruption, you can see "Shiitori Shrine" where the shrine and torii gate were swallowed, and you can feel the terribleness of the eruption. It felt like it was really buried. On the other hand, there is also a newly built shrine and torii gate, and if you go a little further behind the tree 々, there is also "Okuden?" in the shade of the rock. The "Oden?" in the rocks has a little atmosphere. Please visit here as well ...

Squirting fire の claw marks

Original Text

A shrine where you can see the eruption's claw marks. You can see the shrine swallowed by the 2000 eruption as it is, and you can see the terrifyingness of the eruption. A new shrine has been built, but the shrine in the back seems to have been around for a long time. Power spot.

Power spot

Original Text

Of course, the buried torii gate is a sight to see, but when you pass through the forest in the back of the precincts, it was a spot where you can feel the power with a god worshiped in a place like a shallow cave.

A shrine buried in a volcano

Original Text

I went to August 2018. It is a shrine buried by a volcanic eruption. It is a shrine that is unique to Miyake Island, which is typical of a volcanic island, and that is hard to see elsewhere. In the old shrine, the upper part of the torii gate barely appeared on the ground, and when I first saw it, I didn't think it was a torii gate. It is a rare place where you can feel the wonders of nature.

"Torii" that tells everything

Original Text

It is said that a large amount of mud flow occurred during the 2,000-year eruption and swallowed the shrine and torii gate. You can see the state as it was at that time. The torii gate, which is buried in more than half of the soil, tells the awfulness of the mud stream. Currently, there is a new shrine, Torii, next to it.
