    パワースポットなので、そう思ったためかそのようなものを感じました。なぜか楠木正成公銅像がありました。大阪付近の出身地だと思ったのですが、どうも楠木正成公は、こちらに度々武運長久の為に訪れたとのことのようです。

    Nara Kitakatsuragi-gun Kawaicho Kawai 99
    A shrine in Kawai, Kawai Town, Kitakatsuragi County. Located at the confluence of all of the rivers of the Nara Basin, it enshrines the deity Wakaukanome-no-Mikoto, who controls large harvests and water. On February 11th they hold the unusual Sunakake Festival in which sand is flung about like rain over the observers.

    二十二社の一つ、大和の全ての川が一つに集まるところにあり、水神を祀り近くにある龍田大社の風神と一対をなすとされています。日本書紀にも登場する社ですが現在の社殿は江戸時代のもので古くはありません。地下深くまで砂地であることや長い参道が特徴的で、橘の木立に清まる心持ちがしました。いつか有名な砂かけ祭りも見に来たいと思います。

    Nara Pref. Yamatokoriyamashi Tousenjichou 15
    One of the main three Inari deity shrines of Japan, this shrine is the protective shrine of Mt. Kori, enshrining Hidenaga, the younger brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The legend behind the name of the shrine, Genkuro, recounts that when Minamoto-no Yoshitsune fought with his older brother, Yoritomo, he was helped by the Inari god many times. In the main sanctum the white fox deity, Byakko Genkuro is enshrined. Where other shrines have guard dogs, this shrine is protected by guard foxes at its entryway. Endeared deeply by the locals, this shrine hosts many seasonal events.

    源九郎稲荷神社。地味な稲荷神社ではあるが、実は日本三社稲荷の一つに数えられる神社だ。源九朗とはあの、源九朗義経の名前から由来している。源義経は源頼朝との戦いの中、何度もこの稲荷のご運に救われたといわれている。とても静かなたたずまいで、三社稲荷の一つとは感じさせない。

    近鉄の郡山駅から、昭和の風情の残る商店街を通り抜けた先にある神社。小さい神社ではあるが、ちょっとした参道があって趣がある。「金魚の電話ボックス」が近くにあると思い探したが、撤去されたらしく見つからなかった。

    Nara Yamatokoriyama-shi Zaimokumachi 32
    "This Shinto shrine appears to have been built in the Yakusoen medicinal herb garden which once existed in the south of Heijo-kyo, the capital of Japan in the Nara period. The current main shrine building; which records state was reconstructed in the Momoyama period, is a single bay shrine built in the Kasuga-zukuri style with hinoki bark thatching. Of particular note is that the shrine retains its vivid coloring; its carvings and gilded fixtures also convey a distinctive, showy air. The main shrine building has been designated a Cultural Property by the prefecture. There is a medicinal herb specimen garden on the grounds which contains more than 50 varieties of herbs. Locals call the shrine ""Yako-san."""

    古い街並みと住宅が多い一角に立つ神社でした。鳥居を潜って境内に進むと駐車場となっており、更にその奥に拝殿が立っていました。やや窮屈な印象の残る境内でしたが、立派な拝殿が立ち参拝者を迎えていました。

    Nara Gose-shi Miyamaecho 514
    This Shinto shrine was the family shrine of the powerful Kamo clan during the reign of Emperor Sujin. Alongside Takagamo Shrine, it is thought by some to be the progenitor of the many Kamo shrines which dot Japan. The shrine's grounds are also a Yayoi period archeological site, and numerous pieces of pottery, stone tools, and other artefacts have been dug up on them. Two days before Health and Sports day on July 16 each year, the shrine holds a massive lantern procession which is the largest of the several such processions which are held in southern Nara Prefecture.

    御所駅から徒歩5分ほど。鴨都波遺跡の上に鎮座。国道168号沿いに立つ鳥居(1987年建立)は裏口。表参道は境内を挟んで反対側にある。 崇神天皇時代(紀元前)の創建。祭神は積羽八重事代主命、下照比売命。事代主命は大物主命(大国主命)の子であることから、大物主命を祀る大神神社(奈良県桜井市)の別宮とも言われる。参道入口に立つ一の鳥居は1901年建立。砂利が敷かれた参道を進み、社務所を過ぎて右手に折れた...

    Nara Pref. Goseshi Kitakubo 158
    This is a shrine in Kitakubo, Gose City. At this shrine, Takamimusubi no kami, Ichikishimahime no Mikoto, and Sugawarano Michizane are enshrined. There is no main shrine building at this shrine as it is believed that Mt. Hakuun in the background is the deity spirit. The area has strong connections to Japanese mythology including the story of Tenson Korin.

    Nara Katsuragi-shi Kakinomoto 162
    "This Shinto shrine is dedicated to Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, an Asuka period imperial court poet with over 400 poems included in the ancient ""Man'yoshu"" and ""Kokin Wakashu"" poetry anthologies. Some of the many highlights on the grounds include a fudegaki persimmon tree which produces brush-like ears in the fall, a cherry tree said to have grown from a left behind walking stick, a double-blossomed plum tree, and monuments inscribed with the poet's poems. The shrine is famous for its annual spring festival held on the second Sunday in April."

    静かで地元に根付いた神社。 ガイドブックには勿論掲載されてないですが、落ち着いてゆっくり参拝できました。お守りとかの授与所は開いてなく、たまたま参拝に来られた地元の方に聞いたら普段は開いてないよとのこと。ご朱印は社務所に問い合わせしたら書置きですがいただくことができました

    Nara Yamatotakada-shi Sanwacho 2-15

    天神社というと菅原道真公を祀ると考えていましたが、この神社の説明書には菅原公の名前が一切ありません。古事記に出てくる造化神達を祀っているようです。本殿は、夕方訪れたせいか綺麗に輝いているようでした。個人的には境内の摂社の一つの天満宮、梅が咲き始めて目を楽しませてくれました。

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
