- Shiga Pref. Oumihachimanshi Miyauchichou 257
- The Omi merchants had faith in this Shinto shrine from the days of old. According to tradition, the Emperor Seimu established it to worship Oshima Okami in 131 AD. The three Shinto gods now enshrined there are Hontawake-no-Mikoto, Okinagatarashihime-no-mikoto, and Himekami. The shrine holds two fire festivals: The Sagicho Festival in March, consisting of a competition where parishioners make portable shrines covered with talismans, and the Hachiman Festival in April where they burn an enormous 10-meter-tall torch.

竜王町役場の近く、蒲生野のど真ん中、といったあたりに位置します。県道を挟んで東西に社領が分かれています。深い林の中にある東本宮、開放的な西本宮と空気は異なります。 駐車場からも威容がうかがえる楼門をくぐり神楽殿、西本殿へ、当然拝殿に遮られて全貌を捉えることはできませんが、鎌倉時代の作ということで、国宝に指定されています。楼門寄りにある神輿庫も美しい造りです。平日だからか、自粛の影響か定かではあり...

ご祭神は、少彦名命、大彦命（大毘古神）、仁徳天皇（大鷦鷯尊）、宇多天皇、敦実親王で、式内社、旧県社とのことです。無料駐車場があります。神代に少彦名神が小豆に似た豆のサヤである「ササゲ」の船に乗って海を渡って来たので、ササキという地名になったとのことで、佐々木源氏の佐々木氏がこの地に来たのはだいぶあととのことです。なので神社名は佐々木神社ではなく、沙沙貴神社になっているとのことです。本殿、拝殿、楼門...

ご祭神は、天児屋根命で、式内社、旧県社とのことです。国道８号線から入った所の駐車場から遠くに観音寺城跡の大石垣が見えます。 大石垣の写真をとるなら３５ｍ換算で３００MM以上の焦点距離のレンズが欲しくなる距離感です。国の史跡である老蘇森（おいそのもり）の中にあるとのことですが、現存している森はさほど大きなものではありません。

Shiga Areas
Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
