Kogu Shrine: Keiroki

The Keiroki is a stone monument erected in 1846 by the magistrate (head of the local government) of Miyazaki to teach the history of the site it stands on. The text carved into the stone states that this was the location of the palace of Jimmu, from which he headed east to establish a government in present-day Nara Prefecture and proclaim himself the first emperor of Japan. The Keiroki cites the fact that the site has never suffered much earthquake damage as proof of its association with the divine founder of the nation.

The monument can be seen as a product of the intellectual currents of its time, which saw the revival of emperor worship and renewed interest in the ancient myths of Japan. This movement, which in its academic form was called Kokugaku (“National Learning”), flourished in Miyazaki, where a school was founded to teach the tenets of Kokugaku to the public. Local history was reinterpreted in the context of mythology, and sites such as that described in the Keiroki were occasionally turned into formal places of worship. The monument stands on the former site of Kogu Shrine, which is now located nearby and enshrines Emperor Jimmu, his wife, and two of their sons as Shinto deities.

皇宮神社：經壟記碑

這塊名為「經壟記」的石碑是宮崎代官（地方政府長官）於1846年為了記錄腳下這片土地的歷史而立。碑文裡說，這裡是神武天皇的宮殿所在地，祂由此出發東征，在如今奈良縣地界建立政權，自任日本首位天皇。文中援引當地從未遭受嚴重地震損害之事為例，證明其敘述的可信度。

這塊石碑可視為文化潮流的產物，時值天皇崇拜復興，古代神話重新引起大眾興趣。這場潮流延及學界，誕生了「國學」。宮崎是國學的興盛地，甚至興建了一所學校，向大眾傳授教義。當地歷史也被溶於神話文本重新解讀，許多出現在經壟記中的地方都搖身化作了正式的宗教場所。石碑位於皇宮神社舊址，相距不遠的神社供奉著神武天皇、祂的妻子和祂們的兩個兒子。
