    名前の通り、初代藩主山内一豊をはじめ土佐藩の藩主であった人物を祀る神社です。夫人である見性院も祀られているのはやはり扱いが他の女性との違いを感じます。ゆったりした作りの神社で落ち着いていて散策にぴったりの場所でした。

    源頼朝が創建と吾妻鏡にあり、後に長宗我部元親が初陣に際して勝利を祈願したとされる神社です。出蜻蛉式という、上から見ると蜻蛉のような独特の配置の神社で珍しく、また長い槍を持った元親の初陣を表した銅像は新しいものですがとても格好良く記憶に残ります。

    御由緒に、津波で社殿などが流出したため、宝永地震以前のことは詳らかでないとありました。 海岸近くに鎮座しているため、幾度か津波の被害に遭っています。参道の近くには、津波被害を記した案内板も設置されていました。隣接して、津波避難タワーの「純平タワー」があり、津波の備えとともに、災禍の大きさも感じられます。 拝殿の南側には、岩に開いた穴を抜けて参拝する「厄ぬけ石」が祀られています。ポットホールが貫通し...

    高知駅の南にある高知橋から東に行ったところにあります。700年以上も前に当時の高知市の領主・大高坂松王丸が、城を守る神として、京都の石清水八幡宮から勧請したのが最初でその後移転したそうです。パワースポットらしいですし、立派な像もあったりで悪くなかったです。

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
