唐津湾に浮かぶ高島に鎮座する神社です。神社の名前から宝くじが当たるご利益があると有名で、宝くじが販売されると大勢の方がお参りに来られるそうです。なお、元々は島を海賊から守った野崎隠岐守綱吉公を祀った神社なので、宝くじは何の関係もありません。『宝当』と名付けたのも当島（高島）の宝、という意味で付けたものです。 境内は小ぢんまりしていて、拝殿と本殿が一体になったお社と社務所、藤棚がある程度です。お社も...

肥前国一之宮ですがバス利用の場合は、久留米（筑後国）からが便利です。 しかし元々本数が少ないので往復のバスの時間は事前にご確認を。 参拝した日はあいにくの雨で、鳥居の先の100段以上ある急な石段は注意深く上がりました。石段には手すりがあったので助かりました。 境内からは筑後平野が見渡せ、高良大社と共に見守っているのだなと感じました。（後々、「肥前国一之宮だが何故？？？」というちょっとした疑問がわき...

Saga Areas
Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics.
