Kasuga Taisha Shrine
At the western foot of Mt. Kasuga-yama is Kasuga-taisha Shrine. It was originally built to protect the ancient capital city, Heijo-kyo, which was established in early 8th century, and now serves as the head of numerous branch shrines spreading all over the country. It is famous as one of the country's three major shrines, together with Ise-jingu and Iwashimizu-Hachimangu shrines. The main shrine building, built in the 'kasuga-zukuri' architectural style, is surrounded by four shrines. The vermilion-lacquered corridors surrounding the main shrine stand out against the rich, deep foliage at the foot of Mt. Kasuga-yama, and the hanging bronze lanterns under its eaves and the four shrine buildings create a sacred and peaceful atmosphere. A traditional event called "Man-Toro" (10,000 lanterns) is held in summer and winter. All 2,000 stone lanterns and 1,000 hanging lanterns within the precincts are lit, attracting many visitors.
