It attracts many visitors with its reputation for offering luck in warding off evil, success in business, and safe birth.

    平安時代から多くの参拝者が訪れる由緒ある神社のようで、1300年以上も存在し続けています。 石段参道を登ってお参りして来ました。上まで行くと、目の前を走る新幹線が見られたり、工場地帯も見れました。 途中には、稲荷神社や戎神社もありました。

    Yamaguchi Shunan-shi Miyanomae 1-6-13

    創建はハッキリしない様ですが、700年頃から祀られる対象としては存在していた様でかなり古い神社と云えると思います。 昔は海がもっと近く、浜から参道が神社まで続いていたとも言われている様です。 敷地自体はそこまで大きく無いものの、参道から石段を上がり、山門をくぐって拝殿へ進む雰囲気はなかなか良いです。 見どころは幾つかありますが、印象的なのは幾つかの祭事等をHPで動画で紹介していたり、境内に地元放送...

    Yamaguchi Shunan-shi Kanokami 2898

    バリアフリーで拝殿前まで上がれる。ただし、石畳や砂利の所も多いので、車椅子は少し難儀かもしれないと思った。大木が林立する中にあることで神聖な雰囲気が醸し出され、いろいろな由緒がありそうな神社。説明書きによると、女性神職の誕生やおみくじの普及に関係しているらしい。

    Yamaguchi Kumage-gun Kaminosekicho Murotsu 796

    室津港を見下ろす賀茂神社の境内に上がるとその横から更に上がった場所に朱塗りの鳥居が連続していました。この鳥居群を抜けると稲荷神社の社殿が立っていました。やや木立が多いものの山上の神社風となっており、所謂「境内社」の稲荷社を超えるような社殿となっていました。

Yamaguchi Areas

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
