The Ōmiwa Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Sakurai, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It is unique because it does not contain any sacred objects or images, as it is dedicated to the nearby Mount Miwa. People think its practice of using a Kannabi as its shintai is what original shrines did. The shrine is also the patron of Japanese sake brewers.

Architecture 

The Ōmiwa Shrine is in a peaceful forest and is built facing Mount Miwa. There is a very old Japanese cedar tree on the shrine grounds that people believe is holy. The shrine has Mount Miwa as its Shintai, which means that it worships the mountain as a deity, and it does not have a honden. It uses the mountain as a Kannabi
The buildings in the shrine are decorated with Borromean rings. These rings represent the three rings, which is significant because the word "Miwa" is written using the kanji for   and .
The torii on the sandō of the Ōmiwa Shrine is very tall, measuring 32 meters and was built in 1984. It is the second tallest torii in Japan. The shrine also has an ancient gate called shime torii, made with only two posts and a rope known as shimenawa. The shrine has a unique feature known as a "triple-torii" or miwa torii. Unlike most torii gates, the miwa torii has doors that restrict access to the mountain that it enshrines..

The buildings at Ōmiwa Shrine include structures that were built from ancient times up to the Edo period, which lasted from 1603 to 1868.

Ikuta Shrine is a religious site in Kobe, Japan that belongs to the Shinto religion. It is located in the Chūō Ward of the city and is considered to be one of the oldest shrines in the country.

History 
Nihon Shoki, a historical text, states that Ikuta Shrine was established by Empress Jingū during the early 3rd century AD to honor the deity Wakahirume. At that time, two other shrines were also founded: Hirota Shrine, which was dedicated to Amaterasu, and Nagata Shrine, which was dedicated to Kotoshiro-nushi (also known as Ebisu).

During the Genpei War, there was fighting in and around Ikuta Shrine. This battle, known as the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani, is commemorated by markers in the forest behind the shrine. However, the shrine's land was much larger in the past, before the city of Kobe was built around it. Because of this, the exact locations of battles and other events can no longer be marked on the shrine's property.
Festivals and events 
Two Noh plays, named Ebira and Ikuta Atsumori, which depict stories from the Genpei War, are regularly performed near the Ikuta Shrine. These plays are performed every year during Ikuta's Autumn Festival.

was a member of the Japanese imperial family, who served as the second head of a collateral branch. After his death, he was enshrined as the main and only deity in Tainan-Jinja, Taiwan, with the name Kitashirakawa no Miya Yoshihisa-shinnō no Mikoto.

Biography

Early life 
Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa was born as the ninth son of Prince Fushimi Kuniie (1802–1875) and Horiuchi Nobuko. He later became a Buddhist priest with the title Rinnoji-no-miya and served as the abbot of Kan'ei-ji in Edo.
Bakumatsu period 
During the Boshin War, Prince Yoshihisa fled north with Tokugawa supporters after the Satsuma-Chōshū takeover of Edo. He became the nominal head of the "Northern Alliance" consisting of most of the domains of northern Japan, led by Date Yoshikuni of Sendai. Some documents refer to Prince Yoshihisa as "'Emperor Tōbu"' and describe the planned era names for his reign, but historians disagree on whether or not he was actually named emperor. His era name was believed to have been either Taisei or Enju depending on the source.

After the Meiji Restoration, in 1873, Emperor Meiji ordered all imperial princes serving as Buddhist priests to return to their secular status. Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa, at that time serving as a priest under the title Rinnoji-no-miya, was also recalled to secular life. Later that year, he succeeded his younger brother, Prince Kitashirakawa Kasunari, as the second head of the new princely house of Kitashirakawa-no-miya.
Marriage and family 
The couple had one son, Prince Morimasa (護正宮, Morimasa-no-miya, 25 September 1887 – 18 May 1949).

 Prince Kitashirakawa Naruhisa (18 April 1887 – 2 April 1923)

 Prince Nobuhisa (28 August 1885 – 28 June 1886)
 Countess Kanroji Mitsuko (19 October 1885 – 16 July 1975)

Chinese records state that about 2,000 years ago, Emperor Guangwu of the Han dynasty gave a golden seal to a Japanese envoy to present to their king. The seal had the characters 「漢委奴国王」"(Han wa na koku-ō"), which means "[From the King of] Han, presented to the King of Nakoku". The seal is now kept at the Fukuoka City Museum.

A  is a type of Shinto shrine that honors the three Kumano mountains: Hongū, Shingū, and Nachi. There are over 3,000 Kumano shrines in Japan, and each one receives its kami from another Kumano shrine through a process called  or .

The Kumano cult originally came from the Kumano Sanzan shrine complex in Wakayama Prefecture.

Kumano Sanzan 

The Kumano Sanzan shrines are considered the main shrines among all Kumano shrines and are located between 20 to 40 kilometers from each other. They are linked by the pilgrimage route called . In addition to the three shrines, there are two Buddhist temples, Seiganto-ji and Fudarakusan-ji, that are also part of the Kumano Sanzan complex.
The Kumano region has been significant religiously since ancient times, even before modern religions in Japan. It is known as a place for physical healing. Initially, each Kumano shrine had its own form of nature worship, but in the 10th century, they began to be worshipped together as the three deities of Kumano under the influence of Buddhism.. During the time when Japanese kami were believed to be emanations of buddhas, known as the honji suijaku theory, the three deities of Kumano became associated with Buddhas. Kuniyasutamahime, one of the deities, was associated with Sahasrabhūja Avalokiteśvara (also known as Senju Kannon, meaning "Thousand-Armed Avalokiteśvara"), Bhaisajyaguru (Yakushi Nyōrai), and Amitābha (Amida Nyōrai). The site of Kumano became a unique example of the fusion between Buddhism and Japanese indigenous religion known as shinbutsu-shūgō.
.. After the three shrines were associated with Buddhism, the Kumano Sanzan site gained popularity and attracted many worshipers, making it a popular pilgrimage destination.. During the 11th century, pilgrims who visited the Kumano Sanzan site were mainly members of the imperial family or aristocrats. However, by the 15th century, the majority of the pilgrims were commoners.. In the past, the pilgrimage to Kumano was also known as the . This was because the pilgrims could be seen walking in long lines, winding through the valleys, and resembling a trail of ants.

Stephen Hawking described the flight of a fictional astronaut who was passing within a black hole's event horizon. The astronaut he describes is "stretched like spaghetti" by the difference in gravitational force, or the gradient, from head to toe. The reason this happens is that the gravity force exerted by the singularity would be much stronger at one end of the body than the other. If one were to fall into a black hole feet first, the gravity at their feet would be much stronger than at their head, causing the person to be vertically pulled. Along with that, the right side of the body will be pulled to the left, and the left side of the body will be pulled to the right, pushing the sides of the person inward. Spaghettification of a star was seen for the first time in 2018 by scientists observing a pair of colliding galaxies approximately 150 million light-years from Earth.

Inbe Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Nikenya-cho, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture. It used to be a Myojin Taisha. It is a beppyo shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.

Deity 

  (天日鷲命)

Inbe Shrine's deity is believed to be the Oyagami or the ancestor deity of the . The shrine's deity is known to have played a role in the story of Amaterasu Omikami hiding in the cave, where Tentagyoku-no-mikoto led him to plant a  tree and make a white coin woven from kozo fibers. The deity is also believed to have introduced cotton (also called Yu) to Japan.
History 
Inbe Shrine was originally in Mashoku County, Awa Province and was listed in the 'Engishiki Jinmyocho' and 'Myojin Taisha Shrine'. However, due to fires and other factors, its location became unknown during the Middle Ages. In the early modern period, multiple shrines were built in Shikinai and Inbe Shrines claiming to be the original Inbe Shrine. In 1871, it was temporarily promoted to Kokuhei Chusha with "location unknown". In 1874, Inbe-jinja Shrine in Yamakawa-cho was replaced by Gosho-jinja Shrine. In 1881, Gosho-jinja Shrine was changed to Shikinaibu-jinja Shrine, but Yamazaki opposed it. In 1885, the current location on the slopes of Mt. Bizan was selected and Kotohira-jinja Shrine was enshrined there. It was moved to Gosho-jinja Shrine as a temporary subsidiary shrine before being relocated to its present location on May 15, 1892, following the completion of the shrine building.
The shrine was built in the year 1892. But during the year 1945, a big part of the main buildings got destroyed because of war-related incidents. To rebuild it, the current main hall was constructed in 1953, which has a 3-bay front and a 2-bay roof on the remaining three sides. To decorate the roof, chigi and bonito were placed on the ridge.

A loom is placed in the weaving hall. There the fabric for imperial succession is woven

Festival 

 The Spring Reitaisai Washigae Shinto ritual is performed on May 15th to commemorate the Inbe Shrine's relocation in 1892.

A virome is a collection of viruses found in a biological community, such as an ecosystem or an organism. Scientists studying viruses use gene sequencing methods to study the viruses in these communities and classify them. This is known as the study of metagenomics. Viruses are found in all kinds of environments globally. One example of a virome is the human virome, which is the community of viruses living in various human organs. Bacteriophages, a type of virus, are the most common type of virus in the biosphere and in humans, and are found in feces, saliva, blood, and more.
In the 2000s, virologist Forest Rohwer performed gene sequencing on samples of seawater, soil, and human tissue. The studies revealed that the gene diversity of viruses globally is massive and mostly unrecorded. More research in the 2010s showed that the gut virome of humans is of special interest in human medicine. Scientists sort nucleic acids from the other components of viruses, and then analyze them. The large number of different viruses on Earth makes completing the Earth’s virome difficult. As of November 2018, a large virus database held information on 760,000 individual viruses and virus parts.

A Beppyo Shrine, or , is a type of Shinto shrine that is considered to be remarkable in some way and thought to be more important than other shrines. This category of shrines was defined by the Association of Shinto Shrines, and it is seen as the successor to the more detailed Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines.

The list is too big to show here, so it only shows a list of important shrines that are not Beppyo shrines. To see a list of Beppyo shrines, please refer to the list in the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines, which includes all of these shrines plus the ones mentioned below.

Shrines that are not Beppyo Shrines 
The shrines listed below are not Beppyo Shrines because they do not have a strong relationship with the Association of Shinto Shrines. Those whose "Year of termination of umbrella relationship" is 1946 have not been in a close relationship with the Association of Shinto Shrines since it was established in 1946.

Shinko-shiki (神幸式), also known as Shinko-sai (神幸祭) is a shinto ritual of moving a kami in a procession. The Kami's shintai will be removed from the main Shinto shrine and be put in a movable shrine such as Matsuri float or a . It usually takes place during an annual festival for a shrine The parade is considered a way for the kami to review and affirm the boundaries of a neighborhood or parish.

The content, formality, and participation in Shinko Shiki parades vary depending on the region. The most visible part of the parade is a group of marchers who walk or ride along a set route. The parades require organization and resources, and they are often organized as part of a shrine's ritual or related activities.

The parades serve as affirmations of social boundaries because individuals and households contribute time and resources to their neighborhood or area's parade, participate in its organization or performance, and publicly display their membership through signs, posters, or jackets.
This festival can take place on land or water, and the route and places visited are based on tradition. The festival can also include costumes and special rituals. It is sometimes called "O-watari" (お渡り) .

The  of  is a famous example of Shinko-sai.

Shinko Shiki is specifically associated with the visit of kami to its parishioners, but there is a wide range of performance and interpretation.

For example Tokyo Shinko-shiki is rowdy and has lots of drinking, while in Yuzawa it is quiet and formal.

or "divine messengers," are animals in Japanese mythology that are believed to be associated with a kami, a divine being. These animals are also known as kami no tsukai or tsukawashime. In ancient texts such as Kojiki and Nihongi, there are tales of special animals that acted on behalf of the kami to transmit the divine will or to bear oracles. 

As time passed, people started to connect certain animals with specific shrines. It became a custom to take care of these animals when they were found within the area of the shrine. Normally, each kami had only one animal familiar, but sometimes, there were some exceptions where a kami had more than one. Even some of the "Seven Lucky Gods" like Daikokuten (a mouse) and Benzaiten (a snake) had animal familiars.
In later years, the kami's animal familiar became a common symbol of the kami itself. For instance, the fox at Inari shrines was worshipped as a manifestation of the kami. These creatures were thought to be extraordinary spiritual beings, and this perception, combined with their relationship with the specific kami, likely gave rise to this phenomenon.

It is believed to have originated from shamanism, where animals aided shamans in traveling to the spirit world. Certain animals are associated with particular spirits, such as foxes with Inari and deer with Kasuga.

In the past, tribal communities considered their shaman's animal helper as an ancestor, and this may have influenced the connection between animals and spirits in Shinto. For example, the Kamo tribe believed that the  was their ancestor.
At Ise Jingu, roosters roam around and are believed to be the assistants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. They wake her up every morning, according to folklore. Some experts believe that the rooster may be the bird depicted on the torii, a gate that marks the entrance to a shrine.

Inari Okami's fox messengers are often identified directly with her Rice food sake and other offerings are given to them for her

History 
In a book called Fusō Sakki, which was written in the middle of the Heian period in Japan, it is mentioned that a person who killed a white fox (known as shiratoume) near the Ise Shrine was exiled to that area. This suggests that there was a belief in spiritual foxes in ancient Japan..'
The "Chujin Harai-kun," a book written in the 12th century, states that the kami's messenger is second only to the eight great kami and is subordinate to the 100,000 kami. Moreover, "Kitakami Yuki-fu," an essay written in the early 19th century, explains that a ritual called hanasui-iwai is held every year on January 15th. During this ritual, every new household is given a Shinshi.

In Japan, a Shukubo  is a place where visitors can spend the night inside a Buddhist temple. It means "temple lodging" in English.  In the past, these facilities were built to house only monks and worshippers. However, nowadays, more and more of them are welcoming general tourists and expanding their facilities and services accordingly. Some temples, such as , have outdoor hot spring baths known as  Onsens. These temple lodgings are now somewhat secularized and in many towns, they are the only available accommodation options.

History 
At first, only Buddhist monks called Bhikkhu were permitted to stay at these accommodations. However, during the Heian period, more individuals began to embark on pilgrimages to temples and shrines. As a result, even people like the nobility, samurai, and common pilgrims began to stay in these facilities. As a result, the operators of these facilities were no longer only monks.
Shukubo were historically used by Shugendo practitioners and those who worshipped mountains. They played significant roles in the development of both practices.

In a construction boom that lasted for several decades in the Edo period, networks of Shukubo started to develop in Ise, Shima, Toba, and Futami-ura.

Many of the present-day operators of Shukubo are descendants of families who used to run them when they were solely for religious purposes. These Shukubo were originally intended for only one Kosha, but opening up to the general public has significantly increased the number of people staying at these facilities.

At the base of Mount Haguro, there were once 336 Shukubo, all of which were connected to Shugendo.
During the Edo period, visits to temples and shrines became popular Destinations included those Ise, , and . As a result, lodging houses were constructed at major temples and shrines in each area to accommodate ordinary pilgrims and tourists. This formed an early tourism industry. Specific areas were linked to specific lodging houses.

In modern times, some Shukubo have been transformed into traditional inns and ryokans for tourists who wish to experience the ambiance of a temple stay.

, is a mountain in the city of Tsuruoka. It was part of the ancient province of Dewa in Japan. It is one of the Three Mountains of Dewa and stands at 414 meters (1,358 feet), making it the shortest of the three. However, unlike the other two mountains, it is accessible throughout the year. It has the famous Dewa Shrine on it. 

There is a path that has 2,446 stone steps leading to its summit. The mountain has 600-year-old  trees, and along the way to the top, you will see famous landmarks like the Gojūnotō five-story pagoda, Grandpa cedar (jijisugi 爺杉), a 1000-year-old cedar tree, and many shrines. The steps and the pagoda are important and are listed as National Treasures. At the summit of the mountain is the Sanjingōsaiden shrine (三神合祭殿), which honors the spirits of all three mountains.

You can also reach the summit of the mountain by bus service. Besides religious pilgrims, travelers often stay at the Saikan temple lodgings.

In the Edo period there used to be 336 shukubo on the mountain
