    Gunma Pref. Otashi Seradachou 3119-1
    This shrine is one of the Toshogu halls in which Tokugawa Ieyasu venerated the Tosho Daigongen, and is located in Serada Town, Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, a place with connections to the Tokugawa family. The grounds include a gorgeous worship hall designated as a National Important Cultural Property, a main hall, and a karamon gate. The Gokokumon Gate (“Enmusubi-mon”)—said to be good for forging better relationships—is worth a look.

    かなり田舎で周りは他に何もない感じですが 歴史公園内は 大木と池 門やお寺は綺麗に保存されていました。 おみくじは小吉でしたが癒される場所です。 徳川発祥の地と名乗っていました。 東照宮は日光だけではないのですね。 博物館もあって勉強になりました。

    Gunma Pref. Ouragunitakuramachi Itakura 2334
    This shrine is located in Itakura Town. The three Gods worshipped here offer protection from calamity, directional misfortune and lightning. They are Honoikazuchi no Okami, Oikazuchi no Okami and Wakeikazuchi no Okami. It is the head Raiden shrine of the Kanto area. It is said that Prince Shotoku establishing a shrine in the small island of Inara Swamp, in the time of Empress Suiko, was how this Raiden Shrine came to be. The main shrine has a single pillar standing in the very center with doors that open either side. This mysterious construction can only be seen in seven places in the whole of Japan, so the main shrine was designated as an Important Cultural Property by the prefecture. The highlight of the shrine is the carving made by Tsunehachi Ishihara, the 10th generation maser of Jingoro Hidari. It is said to be the best architectural sculpture masterpiece of the Edo Period.

    板倉にあるこの雷電神社は、関東地方にたくさんある雷電神社の総本宮とのことです。日曜日の昼過ぎに行ったのですが、駐車場には車が1台も止まっていませんでした。参拝者が全くいなかったので、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、予想を裏切って、見どころがたくさんあり、観光スポットとして有名になっていないのが不思議に感じました。国指定重要文化財の八幡宮稲荷神社、群馬県指定重要文化財の本社と奥宮、神馬、弁財天など...

    Gunma Pref. Kiryushi Tenjinchou 1-2-1
    This Shinto shrine deifies Sugawara no Michizane. It's one of the five great Tenjin shrines of the Kanto area. People worshiped there for its protective powers around 1187 when Kiryu clan controlled the surrounding area, but it became Kiryu Tenmangu Shrine around 1350 when the god from Kyoto's Kitano Tenmangu Shrine was merged with it. Sugawara no Michizane is a god of scholarship, and as there are many schools in the area, the grounds fill with students who come to pray. It is also known as god of traffic safety and secure travel. The shrine is designated as a Gunma Prefecture Important Cultural Property.

    さほど広くはないのですが 車の誘導などしっかりとしてくださり迷わずに入れました。 建物は古く厳かな感じです。 修復されたら見栄えは良くなると思いました。 おみくじで大吉が出たので印象深いです。 地元の人が毎年きちんと訪れている感じの天満宮です。

Beginning with the summoning and dispelling of rain, worshippers also pray here for a variety of things, such as safe travels and prosperity in business.

    今年も初詣は貴船神社。境内が混雑しないように、入場制限？されているので、少し並んだけど、お参りして、おみくじ引いて、お守り買って。今年は風がなく、例年の寒さがなかった。新年早々、ラッキー。今年も皆んな、健康に幸せに過ごせますように。

    Gunma Tatebayashi-shi Daikancho 11-38

    ナビの案内に従って訪れたら護国神社。ここじゃないとそこから東に向かって長良神社を見つけました。 季節柄、こいのぼりが鳥居状に下がっており、拝殿の脇にはハート型のクローバーの植え込みがありました。 拝殿で参拝して本殿に。 本殿の両脇にあるユニークな彫刻が印象的でした。
