"Power spot" means "a location where the power of the earth swells".
It originally meant spiritual concept. Locations such as shrines or temples that people believe that some spiritual power. However, the definition of power spots are stretched recently. And now, high-rise towers or buildings are called to be a power spots such as Tokyo Skytree, since nice views from there are said to give people power.
The belief in power spots was born back in Edo era or earlier.
In old days, it is believed that only well trained monks can get spiritual powers from temples, shrines or nature. However, ordinary people started to visit "Three mountains of Kumano (熊野三山)" to get spiritual powers. At that time, people started to believe that anybody goes there can get spiritual powers without hard training.
In Japan, many people visit temples or shrines at the first 3 days of a new year as hatsumoude (初詣). Hatsumoude is also a kind of visiting power spots.
Even though, Japanese people don't have strong faith in religions, somehow they love to visit power spots.
Maybe they believe in religious powers subconsciously.
