In Japan, “power spot” refers to a place where spiritual power, energy, and strength, which are generally invisible, are strongly experienced. This word appeared in the mid of 1980s, and by the 2000s it was believed that there were many power spots in shrines. Since the “power spot” boom in 2009, propaganda for worldly profits started to appear. Previous researches focused on pointing out deviations from shinki (神気) belief through information analysis of mass media. In this article, I analyzed contents of internet blog articles on power spot experiences based on four factors – physical effect, psychological effect, parapsychological effect, and worldly profit. These visitors expressed that they received an impression that they were invited to the place of sedative actions, stimulant actions, and mysterious feelings through the senses of water, light, sound, temperature, wind, etc., and that they obtained “power” by associating it with meta-waves of electromagnetic waves or energy. Some people constituted extrasensory perceptions in their meditative state and expressed in poetic images. At first, visitors appeared as if they were pursuing for worldly profits, but in effect they were internally obtaining “psychological profits” that improved their perceptions and responses of life problems. Finally, I would like to point out that factors of shinki belief, worldly profit, and nature worship coexist in the same place by examining the example of Ōmiwa Shrine. Power spot experience may be a deviation from shinki belief, but unlike the pursuit of worldly profits, visitors seem to be able to discover authenticity through the practice of nature worship.
