Tobihino
Tobihino, the precincts of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, is a vast field of grass facing Kasuga Taisha Omotesando. It is a great viewing point for Mt. Mikasayama, where deer are always playing in groups. Today it is called Tobihino, but in ancient times it was also called Kasugano, and was an ancient ritual site overlooking Mt.Mikasayama. The origin of the name "Tobihino" is that when Kashima Daimyojin arrived in Kasuga, his attendant, Yashiro no Mikoto, breathed fire from his mouth to light the way, and the flame never went out. It is said that it got its name because it looked like it was flying, and it is also said that it is said that it got its name from the fact that it looked like it was flying, and it is also said that flying fire means ``noroshi'', an ancient communication facility. In the old Manyo period, the aristocrats played polo, and during the Heian period, it was also known as a popular springtime spot for picking young greens and cherry blossom viewing.
