A great place for a jog or half day break from Yagi, this shrine is the mythical birthplace of Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan. Unebi-yama, the hill just to the north of the shrine, has a couple of trails ascending to a nice lookout over the plains of Yamato. The shrine is five minutes west of Kintetsu Kashihara station, or a short bike ride south of Yagi. This shrine is a great place to be at the New Years, whether on New Years Eve or the next day; half of Kansai will be there dressed in their finest kimonos.
