    Gifu Pref. Kaidushi Hiratachousangou 1980
    The main enshrined deities are Taiso-no-Okami, Inari-no-Okami, and Oyagami. Yoshitaka, the sixth son of Minamoto-no-Hachimantaro Yoshiie, at the time of establishing a branch family was granted by Yoshiie that the ancestral spirits be protected forever. After that, their descendant Mori Hakkai opened the village of Suwaki. It was these gods that became the origin of the shrine. It is one of the three major Inari (god of harvest) in Japan, and two million people come to worship here every year. The shrine is said to generate business prosperity. Worshipers purchase sake and fried tofu at a shop near the entrance of the shrine and make offerings to the gods. Along the road leading up to the shrine you’ll find many shops.

    This is a nice small market walk through Kaizu city. It is very intimate with a lot of food markets, small souvenir shops, restaurants, plant shops, clothing shops, arare shops, snack shops, Kushi...

    Gifu Pref. Ampachigunampachichou Nishimusubu 584-1
    15-minutes from the Hashima Interchange on the Meishin Expressway on Prefectural Route 18. Established in the late Heian period, the shrine is famous for granting worshippers luck in finding love and marriage. According to one theory, the shrine may even have been found a little before the distant Nara period. The shrine is also part of the legendary love story between Oguri Hangan and Princess Terute famously depicted in traditional joruri puppet and kabuki theater plays. In addition, the shrine is known as the place where the powerful samurai lord Oda Nobunaga prayed for victory prior to the Battle of Nagashino and the shrine still has a seal and spear from his visit. The shrine's popular ema votive tablets, used to pray for luck with love, are decorated with hearts and purchasers can have the small heart in the upper right side of the tablet cut out to take with them as an amulet.
  • Takaya Inari-jinja Shrine (Well at Takaya Inari-jinja Shrine)

    Gifu Pref. Ogakishi Takayachou 3
    A Shinto shrine located in a shopping arcade area not far from the JR Ogaki Station’s south entrance rotary. A well is located at the shrine which was built to replace a turtle pond which once stood in front of Ogaki Station. Ogaki City is well-known for the abundance of clean water which wells up from under the ground in the area. As one would expect, the waters of the well here are also extremely clear and clean, and the well has even been selected as one of Ogaki’s 20 best water-related sites by the city. In part because the well was built through donations by local residents, the well is extremely well-maintained. There are also many trees and green plants growing around the well, making it a great place to stop, take a break, and cool off in the middle of a hot summer day.

    Gifu Ibi-gun Ibigawa Cho Miwa

    岐阜県揖斐川町の国道303号線から少し北へ入った、揖斐小学校の西側に建つ神社 県社で揖斐川の総鎮守とし、神武天皇の時代まで遡るという由緒ある神社です。 無料の駐車場があり、平日の午後でしたが参拝客は少なくノンビリ参拝出来ました。 境内はそれ程広くありませんが、鳥居から本殿、拝殿、舞殿、銭洗い弁天など多くの社が有りますので見応えも十分。 おもかる石、さわりダイコク、なでうさぎなど、実際に体験できる物...

    Gifu Anpachi-gun Godocho Godo 1

    817年に伝教大師(最澄)が滋賀・大津の山王総本山日吉大社の日吉神を勧請して創建したとされています。 ここへ来る前に立ち寄った弓削寺も817年に最澄が創建しているので、それらが事実であれば817年は「最澄、大忙しの巻」だったのではないかと思われます。 今でも参道は200m程あるので、かつては随分大きな境内を誇っていたと思われます。 最澄が4柱(神様は「柱」という単位で数える)を勧請し、その約40年...
