    創建は比較的新しく慶長時代です。境内の巨大な梛の木は熊野信仰の礎のような御神木でした。我々のような旅、と云っても古道歩きに過ぎないが、をする者にとっては道中の安全祈願、加護を願い、この梛の葉を御守にします。季節的に大きな葉が一杯あって私たちも一枚ずつ拾って携帯しました。すぐ近くには昭和の2回の大災害、津波と山津波の犠牲者の供養塔がありました。

Mie Areas

Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
