Japan Trip: Natural beauty of the cave and river “power spot” Takachiho, Miyazaki
Japan Trip: Natural beauty of the cave and river “power spot” Takachiho, Miyazaki
【★002★Miyazaki Takachiho Amano Iwato Shrine】
Subscribe link ：
Takachiho is the area of one of the best known legends of Japanese mythology. In the story, Amaterasu, the the goddess of the sun in Shinto, got so outraged by her brother's cruel pranks that she hid herself in a cave, refusing to come out and depriving the world of her life-giving light.
All of the other gods and goddesses gathered to persuade her out. They tried everything they could think of to no effect until one goddess performed an outrageously ribald dance that caused the other gods to roar with laughter. Amaterasu left the cave to see what all the fun was about, and in doing so she Returned her light to the world.
About ten kilometers outside of central Takachiho, Amano Iwato Shrine (Amano Iwato Jinja) was built close to the cave where Amaterasu is said to have hid herself away. The shrine's main buildings are placeed on the Opposite side of the Iwato River from the cave.
Amano Iwato Shrine
Hours: Always open
Closed: No closing days
Admission: Free
The cave cannot be approached, however, there is an observation deck behind the shrine's main building from where you can see the cave across the river. To access the deck, you need to inquire at the shrine entrance, and a priest will give you about 20minutes guided tour in Japanese.
Guide hours 8:30-16:30
Free of charge
A short walk down the road from Amano Iwato Shrine is a path that leads down to the river below. You will see neat little piles of stones stacked along the river by previous visitors to mark their pilgrimage to this power spot after a few minutes on this path. Farther along, the stacks become more numerous until you are surrounded by literally thousands of them as far as you can see.
Eventually the path leads you to a simple shrine inside a cave known as Amano Yasukawara. This is said to be the cave where the gods and goddesses met to discuss their strategy of persuading Amaterasu out of hiding. The natural beauty of the cave and river lined by many stacks of stones make Amano Yasukawara a place not to miss.

Japan: St Clara Church in Yonabaru, Okinawa (3/5) 2013-03-26(Tue)1319hrs
- Santa Clara kerk staat op de heuvel in Yonabaru, Okinawa, met uitzicht op het stadje en de Grote Oceaan. Deze katholieke kerk was na de Heilige Clara (Italiaans: Santa Chiara) van Assisi (1194-1253) genaamd. Gezamenlijk ontworpen door het Amerikaanse architecten- en ingenieursbureau uit Chicago, genaamd 'Skidmore, Owings & Merrill' (afgekort SOM) en de Japanse architect Ken KATAOKA uit Kyoto, zag het gebouw voltooid in 1958 onder toezicht van de Amerikaanse bezetting, de op dit tijdstip (1945-72) Okinawa in heeft geoordeeld. De hele muur van gebrandschilderd glas dat is in de voorkant van het altaar te zien aan de rechterkant, denken aan het schilderij van Nieuwe Beelding (of neoplasticisme), 'Compositie met geel, blauw en rood' (1937-42) door de Nederlands-geboren schilder Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944), wiens invloed heeft een dominante factor te zijn.
- Sankt Klara Kirche steht auf dem Hügel in Yonabaru, Okinawa, mit Blick auf die kleine Stadt und den Pazifischen Ozean. Diese katholische Kirche wurde nach dem Heiligen Klara (italienisch: Santa Chiara) von Assisi (1194-1253) benannt. Gemeinsam vom amerikanischen Architektur- und Ingenieurwesensbüro aus Chicago, genannt „Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (abgekürzt SOM) und dem japanischen Architekten Ken KATAOKA von Kyoto konzipiert, sah das Gebäude seine Fertigstellung im Jahr 1958 unter der Aufsicht der US-Besatzungsmacht, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt (1945-72) Okinawa ausgeschlossen hat. Die ganze Wand der Glasmalerei, die man vor dem Altar auf der rechten Seite sieht, erinnert an das Gemälde des Neoplastizismus, „Komposition mit Gelb, Blau und Rot (1937-42) vom niederländischen geborenen Maler Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), dessen Einfluß hier ein dominierender Faktor sein muß.
- L'église Sainte Claire se dresse sur la colline d'Yonabaru, Okinawa, surplombant la petite ville et l'océan Pacifique. Cette église catholique était nommée après Sainte-Claire (en italien: Santa Chiara) d'Assise (1194-1253). Conjointement conçue par l'agence américaine d'architectes, dont le siège est situé à Chicago, et qui s'appelle «Skidmore, Owings & Merrill» (ou SOM) et l'architecte japonais Ken KATAOKA de Kyoto, la construction a été achevée en 1958 sous la supervision des forces américaines d'occupation qui régnérent Okinawa à l'époque (1945-72). Tout le mur de vitraux que l'on voit sur la droite face à l'autel, n'est pas sans rappeler la peinture du néo-plasticisme, «Composition avec jaune, bleu et rouge» (1937-42) par le néerlandais né peintre Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), dont l'influence doit être un facteur dominant ici.
- St Clara Church stands on the hill in Yonabaru, Okinawa, overlooking the small town and the Pacific Ocean. This Catholic church was named after Saint Clare (or Santa Chiara in Italian) of Assisi (1194-1253). Jointly designed by the American architectural and engineering firm based in Chicago by the name of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (or SOM) and the Japanese architect from Kyoto, Ken KATAOKA, the building saw its completion in 1958 under the supervision of the US Occupation Forces that ruled Okinawa at that time (1945-72). The entire wall of stained glasses that one sees on the right when facing the altar, is reminiscent of the neo-plasticist painting, Composition with Yellow, Blue and Red (1937-42) by Dutch-born painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), whose influence must be a dominant factor here.
聖クララ敎會は沖縄縣與那原町（よなばるちやう）の丘の上に建ち、小さな町と太平洋を見下ろしてゐる。カトリック信徒の爲の此敎會堂は、アッシージの聖キアラ（建久五年生、建長五年歿）に因んで名づけられた。其建物は米國シカゴに本拠を置く建築事務所「スキッドモア・オーウィングズ・アンド・メリル」（略称SOM）と、京都出身の片岡献（生歿年不詳）によりて設計され、米占領軍當局（昭和廿年から四十七年まで沖縄を統治）の指導の下で昭和卅三年に完成を見た。祭壇に向ひて右側壁一面を覆ふ彩色ガラス窓（ステンドグラス）は、阿蘭陀出身の畫家ピート・モンドリアン（明治五年生、昭和十九年歿）による新造形主義の繪畫作品「黄色と青と赤のコンポジション」（昭和十二年から十七年）を思ひ起こさせ、其甚大なる影響が垣間見られる。
