日曜日の午後に車で向かう。 駐車場はそれなりに広い。 ポツポツと参拝者もいる。 ご由緒は「鶴に乗って〜」と良くわからないが、一の宮だけあって境内はキレイに整備されている。 本殿の千木を見ると、なんと縦削ぎ。 物部を冠する神社なのに。 神社の元になったであろう古墳も境内裏にあった。 他にパーソロン号の銅像、夜泣き椨や聖天さんなどの御神木、柿本神社があり見所も多い。 また大きな神社だが、ちゃんと自分の...

- Kigami Jinja Shrine

- Shimane Pref. Odashi Omorichou Lee 1477
- This shrine located in Ota City’s Omori town in Shimane Prefecture enshrines Okuninushi, the guardian deity of the town. The shrine which was in Umaji’s Kigamiyama was moved by the Ouchi clan to Oomorimachi Atagosan in 1434, and the Mori clan moved it to its present location in 1577. One of the sights to see is inside the haiden (worship hall). Sitting at the center of the wooden floor, you can find a colorful “crying dragon” painted above on the ceiling, and clapping your hands together creates an echo as if the dragon was howling. The shrine is famous as a place for matchmaking and there are many offerings of heart-shaped wooden plaques.

- Sahimeyama-jinja Shrine
- Travel / Tourism
- Shimane Pref. Odashi Omorichou
- Sahimeyama-jinja Shrine is located in the area of the world heritage site, Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine in Omori Town, Ohda City, Shimane Prefecture. The enshrined deity is Kanayamahiko, protector of the mine. It is a mountain shrine located about 200 meters from the Ryugenji Mabu mine shaft which has the largest shrine building in the whole country. It is said that the Ouchi clan of the Suo Province built the shrine. Two competing theories claim that it was built either in 1434 or during the 16th century. Locally referred to as Sanjin-san (shrine of the mountain god), it is an old shrine revered by mountaineers, miners and refinery workers.

- Tatsunogozen-jinja Shrine

- Shimane Oda-shi Yunotsucho Yunotsu Ro 156
- This shrine looks down on the onsen town from the rocky mountain. Stories say it was transferred to this area some 400 years in the past, during the reign of Emperor Gonara. Yunotsu was once a prosperous outport town where silver was mined from Iwami Ginzan silver mine. This shrine gathered those revering the guardian deities who watched over the Kitamaebune cargo ships that docked at Yunotsu port. Behind the shrine is a massive boulder that resembles the open jaws of a great dragon. Long ago, the boulder itself was believed to be the incarnation of a descended deity, making this place sacred. The Yokagura sacred dance, which is believed to be the original ritual kagura that became Iwami Kagura, is a solemn and majestic traditional performing art of the Iwami area.

Shimane Areas
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.
