The currently popular 'Demon Slayer'! 🔥🔥
Did you know there is a place in Nara that is famous for having a rock that can recreate a scene from the anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"?
The "Ittōseki" stone, a gathering spot for Demon Slayer fans, is located at the "Amano Iwatate Shrine" in the Yagyu area, known for its swordsmanship.
The "Ittō Stone," which looks like a giant rock cut with a sword, is said to have inspired the popular manga "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba."
Amanoiwatate Shrine is a unique shrine that does not have a main hall and instead venerates the giant rock known as "Ittōishi" as its sacred object.
It's very impressive, and being able to recreate that famous scene is irresistible for Demon Slayer fans! 👹
For access, there are Nara Kotsu buses from JR and Kintetsu Nara Station to the Yagyu area. 🚌
It is about a 2-minute walk from our hotel to Kintetsu Nara Station and about a 10-minute walk to JR Nara Station.
In addition, the bus travel time is approximately 50 minutes.
If you are visiting by car, we recommend using the Yagyu Tourist Parking Lot.
It is a bit far from the center of the Yagyu area, so you will need to walk further after getting off the bus (approximately a 20 to 30-minute walk).
This space evokes the deep history of Yagyu Village, so why not come and visit?
