    Tochigi Utsunomiya-shi Hanawada 5-1-19
    "This Shinto shrine is dedicated to late Edo period Confucian scholar Gamo Kunpei. The shrine's grounds sprawl north of the Tochigi Prefecture Government Building, and monuments commemorating Gamo Kunpei's achievements and his posthumous conferral of rank, as well as a seated statue of the scholar can be found inside their bounds. Gamo Kunpei is believed to be a descendent of Aizu Domain lord Gamo Ujisato and wrote the ""Sanryoshi,"" which recorded his research into imperial tombs across the country. Gamo Kunpei was famously the first person to use the term ""keyhole-shaped tumulus."" Each year in April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the shrine holds a ritual children's sumo tournament; meanwhile, in August on the night of the 15th day of the eight-lunar month, the shrine holds a moon-viewing event."

    以前の体験ですが・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 鹿沼市役所の前にある神社です。神殿には神社でよくある鏡が飾られており、これが外からもよく見えてなんだかご利益がありそうに感じました。駐車場にあったトイレを利用しようとしましたが、施錠されていて平時では使えないようになっていました。 [施設の写真は]https://www.tripadvisor.jp/ShowUserReviews-g10214...

    お参りの後に、社務所で御朱印をいただきたく寄りましたが、人手が、足りないのか、誰もいらっしゃるませんでした。他にも御朱印待ちの人たちがいたのですが、15分以上待ちぼうけ。案内表示があればと思いました。
