    Nigata Pref. Nagaokashi Iduka 870
    A 10-minute drive from Nagaoka-Minami-Koshiji Smart Interchange, this shrine is beloved by locals of Nagaoka City as Iwatsuka no Oinari-san (the Inari Shrine of Iwatsuka). It enshrines the Shinto deity Amaterasu-shiragiku-hotoku-okami. The shrine is said to have originated when Itete-no-Himiko ordered Mononobe-no-Minowahime-no-Mikoto to build a shrine to Amaterasu, Hi no Miya no Miyashiro, in the Village of Nuna. The stunning beauty of the large vermillion-lacquered shrine building standing on a small hill attracts a large number of visitors from across the country. The shrine also being known as the Rosoku no Oinari-san (the Inari shrine of candles). Because of this, it is said that if someone writes their wish on a candle at the shrine's shinkosai (a festival celebrating the temporary transfer of the object of worship from its main shrine) held late at night each November 2nd, it will come true.

    実際に参拝して、かなり大きく有名な神社と知りましたがガイドブックには乗っていませんでした 参拝時は他に人が居らず、ゆっくりと奥宮まで参らせていただけました 出雲に集まった神様が、出雲大社の後にお寄りになる寶徳山稲荷大社 是非足をお運びいただきたい! 供物は5色の蝋燭です また行きたいところ 年末のお祭りもいつか行きたいです

    Niigata Nagaoka-shi Nishi Zao 2-6-19

    中越総鎮守、蔵王大権現、けやきの大木が多数ある一帯の蔵王の森に鎮座し地元の人々から蔵王様と呼ばれ親しまれているそうです。JR信越本線北長岡駅から徒歩約15分ですが、水道公園に行った後に大通り(道路名不明)に出て徒歩で行きました。約20分1キロちょっとでしょうか。姉川の王神橋を渡り直ぐに大きな赤い鳥居、一の鳥居がありました。拝殿まで約200mの参道、鬱蒼とした木立の中を行くと二の鳥居、そして右側に社...

    Nigata Pref. Nagaokashi Yomogihiramachi Party 1590-4
    This shrine is located beside the Ota River in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The deity enshrined here governs mercantile prosperity and many people come from other prefectures to pray here. Climbing the 118 steps to the shrine (there is an elevator to make the shrine easily accessible to the elderly), the small grounds of the shrine come into view, surrounded on three sides by the mountains. In the main hall, business cards of people who come here to pray for their businesses to be profitable and for their economic fortunes to improve can be seen stuck into the wall. Following the defeat of the warrior of the Southern Court, the warrior came to live in Yomogihira, the land of the Ryujin (Dragon God), from the capital. The dragon is enshrined here, and the white snake that is the messenger of the dragon is said to actually exist here.

    Nigata Pref. Nagaokashi Teradomari Ninonquin 2768
    Shirayama Hime-jinja Shrine is located on a hill in Teradomari, Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, which has been the guardian deity of the local area for a long time. The shrine has been built at the top of 125 stone steps which lead up from the shrine gate. The views from the top overlooking the Sea of Japan are wonderful. The enshrined deities are the two gods, Izanami no mikoto and Kukurihime no mikoto. They draw seafaring worshippers praying for safety at sea, and the deities are also worshipped as gods of national security and rural development. The spring festival is held on May 3rd and 4th every year where the daimyo’s procession takes place along the Hokkoku Kaido (north Japan highway).

    長い階段を抜けるとある、こじんまりとした神社です。高台にあるため、日本海を見渡せ、晴れた日は佐渡まで見えるので、眺めが大変良いです。

    Niigata Nagaoka-shi Yukyucho 707

    悠久山公園の入り口にあります。 駐車場から階段を昇っていくと、立派なお社が見えます。 旧長岡藩主(牧野家)が建立したそうで、神社には牧野家の家紋である三つ葉柏が掲げられています。 神殿はあの中越地震でも倒壊しなかったそうです。

    Niigata Nagaoka-shi Omotemachi 1-chome 6-1

    長岡花火の目的で、友人の勧めでふと立ち寄り参拝してきました。 長岡市の中心部にある神社で、駐車場ありますが、結構狭い印象でした。 少し調べてみたら、市民の守護神として崇敬され、開運招福、家内安全、厄災除け、諸願成就などのご利益があるとされているようです。 境内には空襲で亡くなった方を追悼する長岡空襲犠牲者慰霊塔が建てられていて、二度と不幸が起こらないよう見守ってくださっています。 神社の横には子...

    今年はコロナ禍で軒並み花火大会が中止。 当方にとってはたかだか2年間しかお邪魔していませんが、心地よい雰囲気に故郷と感じております。 浅原神社秋季例大祭の花火会場である浅原神社を巡礼してきました、屋台もなにもない神社にしみじみ噛みしめ来年へ期待です。
