Recommended spring spot: "Visiting the Three Eastern Shrine Power Spots"

Kashima Shrine, Katori Shrine, and Ikisu Shrine are collectively known as the "Three Eastern Shrines" because the gods enshrined at these shrines are deeply connected to the myth of "The Land Transfer" that appears in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki.
In the myth of "Kuni-yuzuri," the deities enshrined at the three shrines are ordered by Amaterasu Omikami to persuade Okuninushi no Kami to hand over the country, and play roles in supporting him in this mission. For this reason, each deity is depicted as an important figure.
Furthermore, one of the reasons why the "Three Eastern Shrines" are considered the "strongest power spots in the Kanto region" is that during the Edo period, the number of worshippers visiting them rivaled that of pilgrims to Ise Shrine, and they were a very popular pilgrimage site.

There is no official order in which you should visit the three shrines in the eastern part of Japan. As the expression "Kashima-dachi" suggests, there is a theory that it is best to visit Kashima Shrine first.
