― Kunikyu Kyojingu ―
Surrounded by mountains on three sides and with a river flowing to the south, it is thought to have been an ideal location for the capital at the time. Otomo Yakamochi, who was later famous for compiling the Manyoshu, was also a young government official at Kyojingu Shrine, and said, “The capital of Kuni, which is now being built, will be known even if you look at the whispers of the mountains and rivers.” He wrote the poem, “No sayake ki mire ube shirasurashi”, and left behind a poem that makes sense for Emperor Shomu to set up the capital. Please experience the still beautiful KUNIKYU.
