    Ishikawa Kaga-shi Daishojishikiji Ru Otsu 81
    The history of this Shinto shrine, the overarching guardian shrine of Kaga-Enuma, stretches back 1,400 years. It is believed the shrine was founded in 585 when gods enshrined at the Imperial court were sent here to suppress a plague running rampant in the area at the time. The oldest Tenjin shrine in Minamikaga, the shrine is the patron shrine of an area where the surname “Saito” emerged. The shrine’s annual festival, usually held on February 10th and called the Gongan Shinji, is also known as the Takewari Matsuri (“Bamboo Cutting Festival”) and has been designated an Intangible Folk-Cultural Property by Ishikawa Prefecture. During this famous Shinto rite, young men split open hundreds of green bamboo trunks. Preceding the arrival of spring, the event attracts large numbers of tourists from across Japan.

    加賀市大聖寺にあります。御朱印をもらいに行来ました。この地で昔疫病が流行した時に、宮中で祀つわられていた官生石部神が官生されたのが始まりと言われている。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kagashi Daishoujihachikenmichi 55

    大聖寺藩邸内にあり、前田家の遠祖である菅原道真公を祀る天満天神神社がはじまりとされている。藩邸一部の旧観を残している武家庭園の境内は雪に埋もれているが、参道はしっかりと除雪され、参拝することができました。

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
