Karasu-juku Shrine in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, is a shrine with a history of over 1000 years. Located deep in the mountains, the approach is steep, long, and full of insects, but its mystical atmosphere fascinates many people. The enshrined deities include Ame-no-oshihomimi-no-mikoto, Takara-tama-no-mikoto, and Sugawara-no-Michizane. The "Hadaka-mairi" held every year on December 14th is also famous, where men visit the shrine in tight-fitting clothes. You can also enjoy the scenery and walking paths throughout the four seasons.
