Message from Tony Xia

A very beautiful shrine in the forest with many stairs. Tucked away in the cypress forests near Takamori, Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine is a hidden gem with a mystical vibe. As you climb the moss-covered steps lined with stone lanterns, you'll reach the main hall and a sacred stone with a hole through it. Legend has it that this hole was made by a escaping demon, symbolizing overcoming challenges. It's like a secret spot where nature and folklore come together for a unique experience in Kumamoto.
