- Okayama Pref. Okayamashi Kita-ku Kibitsu 931
- A Shinto shrine primarily dedicated to Kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto, a prince who subjugated rebels and brought peace and order to this area as one of the four mighty Shido Shogun. Kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto is also known as the model for the legend of Momotaro, one of Japan’s most popular folktales. The shrine is one of the largest in the old San’yodo area. The front shrine and main shrine, built in the hiyoku irimoya-zukuri style, are designated National Treasures, and were rebuilt in 1425 by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Must-see highlights include the shrine’s roughly 400 meter long covered gallery, and the various flowers which grow on the grounds year round. The shrine is famous for the Narukama Shinji, a ritual in which the whistling of a steaming iron pot is used for fortune telling purposes. The nearest station is Kibitsu Station.

A hidden gem located in the middle of nowhere but definitely worth the visit. The shrine sits atop a hill that offers a great scenery. The temple complex includes a long corridor. The shrine can be...

- Okayama Pref. Okayamashi Kita-ku Ichinomiya 1043
- This shrine is located at the foot of Kibi no Nakayama in the Ichinomiya area of Kita Ward, Okayama City. The main shrine building is on the site of the residence of Okibitsuhiko no mikoto, who suppressed Kibi no Kuni, and has him as the principal shrine god. The shrine is also called “Asahi no Miya” (shrine of the morning sun) because the sun rises directly in front of the main torii gate and enters the mirror in the shrine on the summer solstice.

When I went there in the morning, the weather is cold. It has nice scene to capture photos. We can also check small pond in front of this temple. If you are interested, you can insert 100 coin at the...

- Yagui no Miya Shrine

- Okayama Okayama-shi Kita-ku Takatsuka
- This small shrine is close to Okayama Soja Interchange off the Okayama Expressway. Legends say this is where Kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto, thought to be the basis for the story of Momotaro, fired the arrow split a boulder thrown by the ogre, Ura. A giant granite boulder found near the torii gate is said to be the one from the story, while the giant bamboo growing nearby is believed to have grown from Kibitsu's arrow. Kibitsu-jinja shrine is located where Kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto quartered his army, and Yagui no Miya Shrine is midway between there and Oni no Jo, where Ura had his fortress. The stream running in front of the shrine is called Chisuigawa (blood sucking river), from the legend that says this river formed from the blood spilled when Kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto's arrow pierced Ura's left eye.

護国神社は日本全国にありますが、こちらもその一つで、岡山県出身、もしくは縁故のある英霊をお祀りしています。参道には8月15日に最後の特攻に出撃した宇垣纏提督と十七士を祀る菊水慰霊碑などもあります。

岡山市内の路面電車終点東山で降りたら、徒歩７-８分といったところです。ただ結構きつい石段を登りますよ。もともとは玉井宮と東照宮は別々の神社だったそうです。安産にご利益が有ります。

備前三門駅から徒歩圏内にある神社です。平野部分と思いきや以外にも小高い山が続き、境内に入ると急な石段を上がってやっと拝殿に到着しました。左程大きくない拝殿ではありましたが、後を向くと市内方面を見渡す事が出来ました。

池田動物園の近くに立つ神社⛩です。 周辺は住宅地の為、建て込んで狭く見えたのですが、少し高台に社殿が立ち思ったより余裕のある境内でした。 又、社殿の裏手には古代祭祀の遺跡がありました。 猶、おみくじ自販機にお金を投入したにも関わらず、肝心のおみくじが出て来ませんでした。社務所は無人で、30円也のおみくじは諦めました^_^

Okayama Areas
Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
