    This Shinto shrine is three minutes on foot from the Keisei Main Line's Daijingushita Station and 15 minutes on foot from Funabashi Station on the JR Sobu Line. It was founded when Yamato Takeru-no-Mikoto enshrined Amaterasu Sume Omikami there for worship after suppressing Japan's eastern regions. It is the largest and oldest shrine in the Funabashi region. Sumo wrestling takes place at its main annual festival on October 20 and has a history of more than 400-years. It's even recorded the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu watched Sumo bouts here.

People have visited from long ago, believing that worship here offered far-reaching benefits that included protection from calamities relating to age, direction, and dates, as well as effective divination around housing and natural features.

    今年も検見川神社で初もうでをしました。多くの人でにぎわっていました。今年は神社で新年に関係する多くのものが売られていました。お賽銭を上げて、今年の抱負や願い事をしていたのだろうと思います。たくさんの笑顔を見ることができる場所でした。今年はよい年になりそうです。

    Chiba Pref. Funabashishi Miyama 5-20-1
    "This Shinto shrine is said to have been built by decree of the Emperor Saga between 810 and 823. It was a popular place of worship as it was the guardian shrine of the area's 23 villages. Compiled in the year 905, the Engi-shiki Jinmyo-cho lists it as Samukawa-jinja Shrine, one of the two leading sanctuaries in Chiba County, but the bell installed in 1303 has an insignia reading ""Ninomiya,"" so some think its name was bestowed in the Kamakura period. It's an important venue for the Shimosa Miyama Seven-Year Festival, a Chiba Prefecture Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Portable sanctuaries from the area shrines converge on the grounds during the Anzan Orei Taisai Festival."

    千葉寺十善講八十八所6番。登渡神社の駐車場に大師堂あり。「白蛇山 真光院 大師堂」との事。駐車場は国道から坂を上がって、神社を通り越して左折した先(左側)にあり。思ったより小さかった。長時間とめられそうに無かったので、(お堂にお参りできたので)お参りして、神社はまたの機会にした。

    久しぶりの再訪です。境内は広く、いろんな木が植えられています。今の季節は、ツツジが満開でした。ツツジといっても、多分違うタイプのツツジのように思えました。
