Kamikochi is one of Japan's leading mountain sightseeing destinations. Located at an altitude of 1,500m in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, it is also the gateway to climbing the Northern Alps, which is home to famous peaks such as the Hotaka range and Mount Yari, which are popular among climbers.
Surrounded by nature, the whole of Kamikochi is a land of strong earthly energy, but Myojin Pond, located about an hour's walk from Kappa Bridge, the symbol of Kamikochi, is within the grounds of the inner shrine of Hotaka Shrine in Kamikochi and is a sacred area. The gourd-shaped pond is divided into Ichinoki Pond and Ninoike Pond, and the beautiful trees reflected on the lake's surface give the area a tranquil and mystical feeling. On clear days, Mt. Myojin, the sacred object of Hotaka Shrine, is reflected in the pond, which is said to further increase the energy.
The current kanji spelling is "Kamikochi," but due to its beauty and mysticism, it was once called "Kami-Ochi," or "the place where the gods descend."
Many people come here to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery and escape the heat, but this is a place where the power of the gods descends, so take a moment to slowly and deeply breathe.
The clear air will spread throughout your body, and you will feel overwhelmed with energy, as if you were a part of nature.

One of the main features of this power spot is that it is a place where scientifically proven "ki" gathers.
Some people even say that Bungui Pass is the place in Japan with the most 'ki' energy, making it one of the most notable power spots. It is located in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, at an altitude of 1,424m, and is one of the passes in the Ina Mountains that run along the west side of the Southern Alps.
It was discovered by Zhang Zhixiang, who discovered the "zero magnetic field" of Lianhua Mountain in Hubei Province, China, and as its name suggests, the pass that divides the stakes, it is located on the border between Hase and Oshika Village, Shimoina County, and has long been one of the passes on the Akiha Kaido road leading to Enshu Akiha Shrine.
The Median Tectonic Line, said to be the oldest, largest, and longest fault zone in Japan, is a major fault that stretches 1,000 km in length on land alone. It is where strata with completely different geology collide, and is said to be "a point where the energy of the earth is concentrated."

"Zero magnetic field" refers to a place where the directions of two magnetic fields, according to the principle of electromagnetic induction (the phenomenon in which a change in electric current creates a magnetic field, and a change in the magnetic field causes an electric current), face each other and are "zero." In other words, it is a state in which the energy that should be generated appears to be zero when two energies face each other. Even though there is strong pressure from both sides, it only appears to be stationary, but in reality energy is being applied from both sides, and it can be said that there is an extremely strong accumulation of energy in the fault.
In a true "ki field" like Bungui Pass, simply standing there will allow "ki" to permeate your entire body.
Just let time flow and relax.
You can feel the power of the "zero magnetic field" welling up from Japan's largest giant fault.

Togakushi Shrine is the collective name for five shrines built around Mt. Togakushi in the northwest of Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture.
When talking about Togakushi, there is an episode called "Iwatogakure" that is known to anyone familiar with the "myths" handed down in the Takachiho region.
*For more details, please see "Iwato Legend" below.
The Togakushi area, where the five shrines Okusha, Nakasha, Hokosha, Hinomikosha, and Kuzuryusha are dotted in the deep forest, is filled with a strong "power of nature." In particular, the approach to Okusha and Kagamiike Pond, located halfway between Nakasha and Okusha, are filled with the power of greenery. Recently, it has become even more vibrant and overflowing with a strong power because many young women visit as a "power spot that is effective for love luck."
In the coming season, Kagamiike Pond will also be a famous spot for viewing autumn leaves. Please come to Shinshu to feel the power of the forest.

Haruna Shrine, located in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, is one of Kanto region's most famous power spots.
This shrine enshrines the god of Mt. Haruna, which is one of the three mountains of Jomo along with Mt. Akagi and Mt. Myogi, and its main deities are the god of fire, Hisanrei-no-kami, and the god of earth, Haniyamahime-no-kami. Located on the middle slope of Mt. Haruna, the entire area surrounding the shrine is considered a sacred area, and the shrine has a long history said to date back about 1,400 years, and was once famous as a training ground for Shugendo sect practitioners.
The place with the strongest "ki" is said to be the huge rock called "Misugata Rock," which stands behind the main hall of Haruna Shrine.
This rock, which appears to swallow up the main shrine, is said to be the image of the god himself, and many people feel an indescribable power when they stand in front of this huge rock.
In addition to the "Migiza-iwa", there are many other giant trees and rocks around the shrine, which exude a unique atmosphere and powerful power. As you walk slowly along the approach surrounded by the giant rocks and strangely shaped rocks, and allow your body to slowly become accustomed to the mysterious power, you will be enveloped in a "calm energy" that makes you feel as if you are a part of nature.

It's hard to believe that it's in the middle of the capital city of Tokyo, and it's hard to believe that the shrine "Meiji Jingu" is surrounded by rich forests. At the northern end of this forest, Kiyomasa I, which is called one of the most powerful spots in Tokyo, is still gushing fresh water today.
Meiji Jingu is located in Tokyo Shibuya Ward. It is a famous company that always makes the news on New Year's Day and is the number one first-time visitor in Japan (about 3 million people).
The deities of the festival are "Emperor Meiji" and "Empress Shoken". In order to create this forest, donated trees were donated from all over the country, and this place, which was created with the calculation that it would eventually become a natural forest, was the favorite place of Their Majesties during their lifetime.
The well of spring water that was in it is the "Kiyomasa Well" that is now attracting attention.
It is said that the well, which has been constantly overflowing with spring water for about 300 years since the early Edo period, was dug by the warlord Kato Kiyomasa, who is known as the "god of civil engineering". The well, which was carefully calculated and ingenious, and the quality of the water in one of the best in Tokyo were in harmony with the majestic energy of nature, and the power was brought to the well itself.
You can easily drop by, and it is the most popular power spot in Tokyo.
Not only this "spring" called Kiyomasai, but also the solemnity of the "forest" of Meiji Jingu is shrouded in mystery.
