Center of Japan Myth

 This page explains the Japanese center based on the Japan myth and I quoted inferior web sites and wikipedia.

 According to "Japan Myth", the center of Japan is Ikushima-Tarushima Shrine(生島足島神社). The shrine is dedicated to "Ikushima-no-Ookami(生島大神)" that is the god of birth and "Tarushima-no-Ookami(足島大神)" that is the god of satisfaction. And the Japan Myth regards them as gods that reign all of Japan. Besides, it has been called "Nihon-So-Chinju(日本総鎮守)" that means what prevents Japan from all bad things.

Inside of the shrine

"Nihon-Chuo(日本中央)" that means "center of Japan"
is on the upper part of the stone monument.
