幣立神宮は、熊本県上益城郡に鎮座する古社。別名を「隠れ宮」といいます。
一説には、1万5千年の歴史を有するといい、近年まで広く知られずにいた古社であります。
社伝によれば、神武天皇の孫の健磐竜命（たけいわたつのみこと）が、阿蘇へ向かう途中にこの地で幣帛（へいはく）を立て天神地祇を祀ったのが起源ともいいます。
幣帛とは、神様へのお供え物の総称を意味し、古くは絹や麻、木綿などをお供えしました。
延喜年間（901年〜923年）に、阿蘇大宮司友成が神殿を造営し幣立社と号します。
この阿蘇友成は、世阿弥が物語にした謡曲「高砂」の主人公としても登場します。
その後、天養元年（1144年）に阿蘇十二神を合祀し大野郷の総鎮守となります。
現存する社殿は、享保14年（1729年）、熊本藩4代藩主の細川宣紀が再建しました。
幣立神宮は、日本列島を東西に1000kmにも及ぶ大断層、中央構造線上に位置しています。
中央構造線上には、伊勢神宮などの重要な神社が各地で鎮座し、幣立神宮の神秘性を高めています。
幣立神宮は、天孫降臨の伝承を持つ高千穂に近く、様々な神話や伝承が伝わる謎に充ちた神社です。
奥深い森の中で神話の世界を今も保ち続けているようにさえ感じる九州屈指のパワースポットです。

Heitate Jingu Shrine is an ancient shrine located in Kamimashiki County, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.It is also known as “Hidden Shrine”.
According to one theory, it has a history of 15,000 years, and until recently, it was not widely known as an ancient shrine.
According to shrine legend, the origin of the shrine is said to be that Takeiwatatsunomikoto, grandson of Emperor Jinmu, enshrined Tenjin Jigigi (gods of the heavenly gods) here with a heihaku (a sacred object of worship) on his way to Aso.
The word “heihaku” means a generic term for offerings to the gods, and in ancient times, offerings were made of silk, linen, cotton, and other materials.
During the Engi era (901-923), Aso Daiguji Tomonari built a shrine and named it Heitate-sha.
Tomonari Aso also appears as the main character in the Noh song “Takasago” that Zeami wrote.
After that, in 1144, the Aso Twelve Gods were enshrined together and became the general guardian of Ohno Township.
The present shrine was rebuilt in 1729 by Nobunori Hosokawa, the fourth lord of the Kumamoto domain.
Heitate Jingu Shrine is located on the Median Tectonic Line, a major fault line that stretches 1,000 km east to west across the Japanese archipelago.
Important shrines, such as the Ise Jingu Shrine, are located on the Median Tectonic Line in various places, adding to the mystique of the Heitate Jingu Shrine.
Heidate Jingu Shrine is located near Takachiho, which has a tradition of descending from heaven, and is a mysterious shrine with various myths and legends.
It is one of the most famous power spots in Kyushu, where it even feels as if the world of mythology is still being maintained in the deep forest.
