橿原神宮, 日本橿原市的神社
橿原神宫是日本橿原市的神社,位于畝傍山脚下,通过一条银杏树参道抵达。神社内有多座木造殿宇,屋顶呈弯曲状,宽阔的碎石路穿过鸟居之间。
这座神社建于1890年,在明治天皇统治时期,地点据说是第一代天皇神武天皇在两千多年前即位的地方。京都皇居的两座建筑后来被迁至此处,并纳入宗教建筑群。
宽阔的院内 inviting visitors to pause in silence before the wooden gates and listen to the rustling of the ginkgo trees. Many people arrive dressed in formal clothing or toss coins at the altars, especially at the start of the year or during important life moments.
参观免费,大门每天从清晨开放至傍晚。最近的车站是橿原神宫前站,从该站穿过森林直达正门。
正殿 originally stood in the imperial palace in Kyoto and was relocated here to give the shrine a more formal ceremonial structure. The same construction once stood at the center of political life before being repurposed as a religious site.
