Abstract

Places where the gods dwell" still remain quietly throughout Japan and convey an unusual presence.
The author, who is also a Shinto and Buddhist detective, explores the sweet spots of the gods and awakens the memory of kami that lies dormant in the depths of the Japanese people with mind-blowing visuals.
The shrines introduced in this book, which can be described as the most spectacular sights in all parts of Japan, create an atmosphere that is out of this world.
