Haruna Jinja

Haruna Jinja foi fundado em 586, tornando-o um dos santuários xintoístas mais antigos de Gunma.

Mount Haruna forms part of the legendary Three Mountains of Jōmō, alongside Mount Akagi and Mount Myōgi. The shrines on these three peaks maintain a special spiritual connection spanning centuries.

Haruna Jinja consagra divindades da água, do fogo e da agricultura, uma combinação incomum ligada à natureza e às colheitas.

During the 14th century, this Shinto shrine became affiliated with Kan'ei-ji, a powerful Buddhist temple. All Buddhist elements were stripped away during the Meiji era's forced separation of the two religions.
