4.0

Shiogama-jinja Shrine is known for its shiogama cherry tree that has been designated as a Natural Monument of Japan. The main enshrined deities are Shiotsuchinooji, Takemikazuchi-no-kami and Futsunushi-no-kami, but the details before the Edo period are not very clear. Construction of the current shaden (main building) was completed in 1704, and 14 buildings including the honden (main shrine) and haiden (hall of worship) and the stone torii gate have been designated as National Important Cultural Properties. The deities are believed to answer a variety of prayers including those for safety at sea, success in catching fish, protection and easy delivery during childbirth, traffic safety, and for protection against misfortune. The deities are revered by the locals, and regardless of the type of prayer they will make their way to this shrine.

茅の輪くぐり

Reviewed : 2022.05.16

鹽竈神社の隣にありますが、あでやかな鹽竈神社に対し、こちらは控えめな感じです。５月中旬、茅の輪くぐりができました。作法もきちんと説明されていました。御朱印は鹽竈神社でいただけます。

鹽竈神社の境内に当たり由緒書きにも併記されていました。元々別の場所にあった神社のようですが、現在地に遷座された旨が記されていました。鹽竈神社参拝に併せて参拝しるには分かり易い位置関係でした。

鹽竈神社を訪れるために社殿前をあやうく通過しそうになりました。7月下旬は境内中央に茅ノ輪があったので、のぞいたらこちらの神社。きれいに手入れされ、人も少なく気持ちよくすごせる神社でした。ただし、今回目的地鹽竈神社となりなので、申し訳ありませ
