Wish Stones at Taga Taisha Shrine - Taga Taisha Shrine is dedicated to the creator gods Izanami-no-mikoto and Izanagi-no-mikoto and the shrine has been listed Japan's oldest book the Kojiki. Visiting the shrine is said to bring long life, lucky marriage and the protection from evil. The shrine has been repaired many times though the shrine today is nearly the same as it was in ancient times. The entrance is marked by the Taiko Bridge - an arched stone configuration.
