    Okayama Pref. Tsuyamashi Ichinomiya 695
    This shrine is located in Ichinomiya, Tsuyama City. Said to have been built in 707, it is dedicated to Kagamitsukuri no Kami (god of mirror-making). It has been devoutly worshipped since long ago as the highest ranked temple in Mimasaka Province, and was rebuilt by Izumo castle lord Amago Haruhisa after it burned down in the 16th century. The main shrine is a nationally-designated important cultural property.

    岡山にある奈良時代に創建された美作国一宮です。最初に貫の出ていないこの神社独特の鳥居があります。参道を進んでいくと、津山城から明治時代に移された神門があります。本殿は戦国時代に戦乱で焼失し、尼子氏が再建したもので、重要文化財です。一宮らしい立派な神社でした。

    Okayama Mimasaka-shi Miyamoto 968
    A 15-minute walk from the Miyamoto-Musashi Station on the Chizu Express or a 20-minute drive from the Sayo Interchange. This shrine is located just south of the Musashi Museum and Miyamoto Musashi's Childhood Home. As the name suggests enshrined is the spirit of Miyamoto Musashi, the famous sword-saint from the early Edo period. Ever since it was built in 1971 great numbers of visitors have come to pray for success or victory. Located nearby the shrine is the family tomb and the stone wall of the main building contains a heart shaped stone that was excavated nearby that has become known as a power spot for romance fulfillment. The shrine's victory amulets are very popular.

    Okayama Tsuyama-shi Miyawaki Cho 5

    城西地区の寺社の多い地域にありました。レンタル自転車でまわっていたので苦労しませんでしたが、徒歩でまわると津山駅からもそこそこ時間がかかる場所かもしれません。境内の建物の中に神輿が展示されていました。赤穂浪士の神崎与五郎の句碑がありました。社殿は江戸時代の早い時期の建築とのことでした。

    Okayama Tsuyama-shi Jingo 433

    津山市街から西へ3-4キロ。自転車で訪ねましたが、かなりハードです。 美作国守護の館があった場所で、後醍醐天皇が隠岐に流される際、ここに宿泊したという場所。明治になってから、後醍醐天皇と忠臣、児島高徳を祭神として建てられた神社です。 周囲に児島高徳関係の像や碑があって、そっちの方も見どころです。

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

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.
