The one on the left facing the building is dedicated to Kotoshironushi, while the one on the right is dedicated to his mother, Mihotsuhime-no-mikoto. The shrine is believed to grant worshippers a variety of benefits, including not only prosperity in business but also large harvests, maritime safety, and luck in public performance. The shrine’s Aofushigaki Shinji ritual, held on April 7, and Morotebune Shinji ritual, held on December 3, are connected with the “kuni-yuzuri,” a legend relating the transfer of the rulership of Japan to the gods of Heaven, and during these times great numbers of people from around the country come to witness the events.

    Authentic Japanese style shrine with interesting Japanese wooden architecture work. Ambience similar sacred. Very good Japnese snacks around the shrine. And very nice peer view too.

    Shimane Pref. Matsueshi Tamayuchoutamatsukuri 508
    An ancient Shinto shrine located on the outskirts of the Tamatsukuri Onsen hot spring district in Matsue, Shimane mentioned in the texts of the “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki” and “Engi-shiki.” The shrine is dedicated to three gods—Kushiakarutama-no-mikoto, who makes Tamatsukuribe; Onamochi-no-mikoto, who makes nations; and Sukunabikona-no-mikoto, god of hot spring medicine and protecting hot springs. The shrine’s treasure house stores jewels unearthed at the ruins of Tamatsukuri designated Important Cultural Properties. There is also a wishing stone on the grounds that grants wishes to those who touch it and pray, and in recent years the shrine has become a popular mystical “power spot.”

    Its not a huge shrine but its right in Tamatsukuri Onsen so it was nice to go down and have a look at it. Very peaceful there.

    松江城の観光後、そのまま公園内を散策したら「松江護国神社」がありました。 「松江護国神社」は「大勝利祈願」が有名らしいです。護国神社らしいといえばらしいですかね。「大勝利祈願」、今はスポーツ、受験、会社などの大勝利へということでしょうね。

    Shimane Matsue-shi Nishichamachi 106

    宍道湖大橋のたもと(北側)にありました。漢字だけでは読みづらいのですが、「すえつぐ」と読むようです。元は本当の湖岸にあったそうですが、大橋の開通で道路拡張で現在の場所にあるようです。出雲国風土記にもある古い神社です。近くのホテルに滞在したので夕方境内を散策しました。夕方は太鼓の音が聴こえたので神事を行なっているようでした。

    平濱八幡宮は、往古石清水八幡宮の出雲国八ヶ所の荘園のうちの一つ八幡荘にご鎮座にて、創建年代は不詳なるも、天永二年（1111年）には別宮として創建されている。後には出雲国八所八幡宮の総社として著われ、出雲国最古の八幡宮と言われている。（武内神社の）武内宿禰命は五代の天皇に仕え、わが国初の大臣として国政に深く関与された。(境内案内文より)

    駐車場有り。 社務所に人もおり、境内は清浄。 狛犬ではなく、狛牛。 ご由緒によると、菅原道真の父是善が先祖の野見宿禰のお墓参りに来た時に、世話をした女性との間に生まれたのが菅原道真との事。 そのお墓が現存してるとは。 ただ驚く。

    かつて島根県には意宇郡（おうぐん）と言う郡があったそうです。 その意宇郡があった地域に意宇六社と言う素敵な6つの神社がある事を初めて知りました。その6社は熊野大社、真名井神社、揖夜神社、六所神社、八重垣神社、神魂神社です。 この六社を巡拝する「六社参り」は現時点で熊野大社、八重垣神社、神魂神社まで巡っていたので、この眞名井神社で4つ目でした。 実は意宇六社の存在を知らなかったんで、たまたま4つ目...

    土曜日の午前中に参拝。 道路沿の鳥居を車でくぐりる。 駐車場は5-6台分。 無人。 日本三大船神事の「ホーランエンヤ」が有名な神社。 ご祭神は阿太加夜奴志多岐喜比賣命。 神社のご由緒とは違うが、口伝では宗像三女の次女「多伎津姫＝八千矛王の妻」の屋敷跡という。他古代史では度々登場する。 神紋は亀甲に有と、古くからの出雲大社のもの。 住宅街の中で川が流れており、なるほどという感じがする。 境内は広くは...

    月照寺の近所にあります。正門が重厚な造りで、この正門で強烈なインパクトがありました。そのすぐ奥にある本堂は、日が暮れかかった時に行ったので、ほんのり明かりが付いて幻想的でした。大きなしめ縄が掛けられていて出雲大社とゆかりのある神社であることがわかりました。

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
