  In Hyuga mythology, this is the pond where Izanaki-no-mikoto performed "misogi" (purification) to purge the defilement of the land of Yomiuri.

• (2) Eda Shrine

  

  It is one of the four Hyuga shrines mentioned in the Engishiki written in the Heian period (794-1185) and enshrines both Izanaki-no-mikoto and Izanami-no-mikoto.

• (3)Miyazaki Jingu Shrine

  

  The main deity is Emperor Jinmu, affectionately called "Jinmu-sama" by the citizens, and Ugayafukyaez-no-mikoto and Tamayorihime are also enshrined.

• (4)Heiwadai Park
