Katchaman’s Amazing JAPAN guide at Nara Power Spot (Sacred Place) “Oomiwa Jinaja Miwa-myojin in Summer [夏の大神神社・奈良県]”
I can recommend Oomiwa Jinja [Miwa-myojin] as the best of shrines in Japan.
According to official website, since the reign of Sujin Tenno the tenth Imperial generation (about 2,000 years ago), the worshipping of this shrine has become popularized unusually, and moreover, since the middle age it has been worshipped as the Top Shrine (Ichi-no-miya) of Yamato pro-vince and has won popular faith as one of 22 shrines. And, in the middle age, so called “Miwa shintoism” was advocated as a special religious philosophy, adding a system and philosophy to the ancient faith.
Judging from the fact that the most of so called top shrines in the whole land are worshipping the branch soul of our great deity,we can see how extensive the divine merit is.
As you can presently understand when you worship befor the steps of the sanctuary hall, there are varieties of prayers recited by the worshippers. Some worshipper recites Oharae-no-kotoba, while another worshipper recites Prajna Sutra. Thus, our great deity has won the deep faith as the deity of industry, medicine, prosperity of fortune, Iongevity, especiahy Yakuyoke (talisman against evils) and Hoyoke (talisman against directional curse) regardless of Shinto, Buddhism, Christianity or other religious sects.
