Place of worship • 1241-2 Inno, Gotemba, Shizuoka 412-0006, Japan
Surrounded by rich nature in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Tainai Shrine is known as a mystical spot that offers blessings of safe childbirth and fertility. The unique terrain formed by the lava of Mt. Fuji and the tranquil forest lead visitors into an extraordinary space.
The main attraction of Tainai Shrine is undoubtedly the "Tainai Cave." This cave, as its name suggests, resembles a human womb, and by crawling through narrow and dark passageways, you can have an experience akin to a rebirth as an infant.
This adventurous experience leaves a stimulating memory for many visitors. However, pregnant women or those not confident in their physical strength are advised to worship from outside.
Tainai Shrine's charm is not only in the cave. There is a path called the "Bird Forest" within the precincts, where you can enjoy a quiet forest bath. Walking along a path surrounded by lush trees provides complete mental and physical refreshment.
Tainai Shrine is not just a tourist site but offers a precious opportunity to harmonize with nature and reexamine oneself. Experience the thrill of cave exploration and the healing of a tranquil forest at this location, and have a unique rebirth-like profound experience.
