Profound Zero Local Forest

It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Ise City to Toba. On the way to the destination of Izo Shrine, it coincided with the day that His Majesty the Emperor came to Ise for the enthronement ceremony and the audience ceremony at the Jingu Shrine after the Great Festival. Early in the morning, near the Inner Shrine of Ise Jingu Shrine, I had the precious experience of accidentally passing by a majestic carriage in which His Majesty the Emperor was riding.

Drive along the Ise-Shima Skyline to enjoy the scenic scenery of Ise, Shima, and Toba. What spreads out below is a beautiful view of the endless Ise Bay. The contrast between the blue sea and the sky, and the greenery of the scattered islands, is truly a spectacular view.

In fact, it is said that it was Emperor Hirohito who attempted the first sightseeing trip to Ise-Shima in history. This situation is also sung in the song of Emperor Hirohito.

What is a zero magnetic field? Why is Izomiya attracting attention?

Definition of Zero Magnetic Field and Its Effects

A zero magnetic field refers to a place where different magnetisms collide and cancel each other out, forming a specific energy state. In the area where this phenomenon occurs, balanced energy flows and is said to bring healing to people's minds and bodies. Especially in Izomiya, the existence of this zero magnetic field attracts attention from visitors. Many people feel that the effects of the zero magnetic field are relaxing, health promotion, and mental stability, and more and more people are visiting for special spiritual experiences.

Relevance to the central structure line in which Izomiya is located

One of the reasons why Izomiya is attracting attention as a "zero magnetic field" is its geographical location. Izomiya is located near the Central Tectonic Line, the largest fault zone in Japan. This central tectonic line is said to affect the surrounding terrain and the balance of energy flows. For this reason, Izomiya is considered to be a place where you can feel a special magnetic energy, and many visitors experience its unique atmosphere. Along with its geological background, its history as a place of prayer for people since ancient times adds to the mystique of the place.

"Shimazu of the White Water of the Sea of Ise is an abalone, and after taking it, it is still a flourishing of love."

The meaning of this song is "The abalone balls of the Shimazu of the sea of Ise are something that I will miss very much even after I have picked them and obtained them." "Abalone" is a pearl that can be obtained from "abalone", and it is thought that this pearl is a parable to a woman, and it is thought that the song sings about the feeling of being very much missed even after love is concluded. At the time of Emperor Hirohito, the current Ise Shrine did not yet exist, but it can be seen that this place was already recognized as a special place.

Visits to Ise Shrine became popular in the 15th and 6th centuries, and became a nationwide trend during the Edo period. And when visiting Ise Jingu Shrine, sightseeing in Ise and Shima became one of the pleasures of people.

As a palace in Shima Province, Izogu has played a central role in the region's faith. Like the Takihara Shrine already introduced, it is the Haruka Shrine of Amaterasu, and is positioned as a separate shrine of the Imperial Grand Shrine.

The Mita Planting Ceremony, held every June 24 at Izogu Shrine, is known as one of the three major rice planting festivals in Japan and has been designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan. This Mita planting ceremony is a Shinto ceremony to pray for a good harvest, and the sight of people dressed in traditional costumes planting rice in the rice fields is a masterpiece.

The founding of Izogu dates back to the reign of the 11th Emperor Hirohito about 2,000 years ago. It is said that when she entered Shima Province to establish a place of sacrifice, she was welcomed by Tomi Isawa and founded a palace here. Tomi Isawa was a powerful member of the region, and it is said that he entertained the life of Wahime and was instrumental in the founding of the Izo Shrine.

【Imubiyaden】

There is a special place in Izogu called Imibiyaden. The word "fire" means "pure fire" and uses a fire tool to start a fire and prepare offerings. In this place, they make a fire and cook a sacred meal to the gods.

History of the Sacred Treasure Stolen

In its long history, Izomiya has encountered several difficulties. At the end of the Heian period, in the Jijo-Junaga Rebellion (Genpei War), the invasion of the Minamoto clan into Ise Province, which was the stronghold of the Isehira clan, was expected, and the Heike guarded both Ise-Shima countries. In January of the first year of Yowa (1181), Izomiya suffered a tragedy when the main shrine was destroyed and the sacred treasure was taken away by an attack by Kumano Sanzan of Kii, who had sided with the Genji. The forces of Kumano Sanzan crossed the mountains and attacked Ise Province, but were counterattacked and retreated. This incident is still talked about as a major stain on the history of Izomiya.

Izomiya is located in a quiet residential area. When you pass through the torii gate, the hustle and bustle of the past is a lie, and a silence envelops the area. There is a sacred air in the air, and I feel as if my heart is being cleansed.

【Approach】

The approach is surrounded by cedar trees and is dark even in the daytime. As you walk along the path, you feel as if you have wandered into another world. On the right, you can see a chestnut called a drawstring chestnut. The lower part of the tree looks like a drawstring because of its swollen appearance, so it is called a drawstring chestnut. This unique shape has been nurtured over many years and has become one of the symbols of Izogu. It must have grown so much because of the large amount of energy that rained down on this precinct. This is also said to be a strong zero magnetic field.

【Drawstring Kusunoki】

You can also feel the high energy from the cedar trees. I was overwhelmed by the vitality of the trees, and I was reminded of the greatness of nature.

This is where fate starts

There are no worshippers in the temple grounds, and it is deeply quiet. It is as if time has stopped, and the quiet space spreads.

As you walk, the sound of your footsteps resonates with the place and becomes one with the space. By doing so, I felt that I was one with God as well as the space. And he said, 'Well, come and rest your heart here. Accept me.' It felt like the words were falling from above. The meaning seems to be "by accepting God, wishes come true."

When you visit the temple, I want you to listen to the sound of footsteps and listen to your heart. When the sound that spreads in space returns to you and penetrates deeply into your heart, you can feel that God also enters you. And what the gods of this land tell us is, "Luck starts here, and destiny starts here. A new success story will be created." That's what it means. If you want to start something or create a new success story, please come here.

In Izogu Shrine, the ceremonial relocation of the palace is held once every 20 years. In the fall of Heisei 26, the ceremonial relocation of the palace was held. The ceremony is a ritual in which the shrine is newly rebuilt and transferred to the gods, and is held at many shrines, including Ise Jingu.

The ruins of the life of the princess ~Satoto says~

A short distance from Izogu Shrine is the former site of the life of the princess. Kagami Kusu and the heavenly stone are enshrined. She is said to have traveled to various places in search of a place to enshrine Amaterasu, and is known as a person who was deeply involved in the founding of Ise Jingu.

Ceiling Stone

At the end of the Taisho era, when the Ōkusu tree near Izogu was cut down, a sarcophagus was unearthed from the ground, and sacred objects such as mirrors and beads came out from underneath, causing an uproar as to whether it was the remains of a princess. However, the appraisal of the area was sealed. The villagers have built Senda-ji Temple as a place to commemorate the death of the deceased, and have planted a kusunoki tree to make it a sacred place for Kusunomiya. Next to it are Koshin-do and Akiba-do. It is the site of the former Senda Temple.

Koshin-do and Akiba-do are enshrined in the shrines of Izanagi, Izanagi and Tomi Isawa. This place is an indispensable place for telling the history of Izogu, and many people come to worship it. There are also documents that tell us that Izogu is the true shrine of the sun god who enshrines Amaterasu, and the hidden truth lies here.

When you visit Izogu Shrine, be sure to visit the ruins of the life of this princess. Your intuition may reveal hidden truths.

Izomiya is such a special place that gives visitors tranquility and peace and gives them the courage to take a new step. Nestled in a deep forest of shrines, Izogu Shrine, which has carved out an eternal history, is a place that is truly worthy of being called a power spot

Izogu is a quaint shrine that is different from the inner and outer shrines of Ise Jingu. Please visit for a quiet time. And try to receive a message from the god of Izomiya. It will surely bring new light into your life.
