These stairs lead up to Kume Suitengu (久米水天宮) Shrine.
This shrine is what we call Sessha (摂社), a shrine that is located within another main shrine's domain. But unlike other sessha, Kume Suitengu has its own entrance and stairs.
I love how it's located in the woods and surrounded by nature. The god of safe birth is known to be here in Kume Suitengu and many families with expecting mothers come to be blessed.

that is a nice shrine and a place that seems unperturbed,but i wonder if it's scary at night. ^0^
I really like visiting shrines in Japan-it's so peaceful.
How nice to have a god of safe birth, I think he would be extremely popular everywhere!
These shrines in the woods are absolutely charming.

I love these shrines - they are so in harmony with the nature that surrounds them. Very nice photos, they bring that home.
