Japan Trip: Kasuga Taisha famous Kasuga Matsuri world heritage site, Nara18 Japan Moopon
Kasuga Taisha is Nara’s most celebrated shrine. It was founded at the same time as the capital founded and is dedicated to the deity to play a role of the protection of the city. Kasuga Taisha was also the tutelary shrine of the Fujiwara, Japan’s most powerful family clan during most of the Nara and Heian Periods. Like the Ise Shrines, Kasuga Taisha had been rebuilt periodically every 20 years for many centuries, but until Edo Period. In the case of Kasuga Taisha, the custom came to an end at the end of the Edo Period.
While the shrine’s offering hall can be visited without admission fee, there is a paid inner area beyond the offering hall, which provides a closer look at the shrine’s inner buildings. Furthest in, there is a main sanctuary, containing multiple shrine buildings that present the distinctive Kasuga style architecture of the shrine featuring a sloping roof extending over the front of the building.
Kasuga Taisha is known for its lanterns, which have been donated by worshipers. Hundreds of bronze lanterns are hanging from the buildings, while as many stone lanterns line up along its approaches. The lanterns are lit twice a year on the occasion of the Lantern Festivals held in early February and mid August.
