Sarutahiko Shrine

Shrine
Sarutahiko Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Sarutahiko Okami. It is recorded in the ancient Kojiki and Nihon shoki that the great god Sarutahiko Okami guides everything towards the best state. According to legend, after guiding Amaterasu’s grandson to Takachiho, he married Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto. He then chose to reside in Ise and from there guided the development of the nation. A shrine known as the Sarume Shrine, dedicated to Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, is located on the shrine grounds. When the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami hid herself in a cave, she was persuaded to come out again after a kagura performance of song and dance by Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto. Accordingly, she is worshiped as the goddess of the performing arts.

    内宮から横丁で買い物してこちらに。申年なだけにここに寄らないといけないような気がして訪問。御朱印もいただきました。有難うございました。

    ご祭神は、猿田彦大神、大田命とのことです。全国約2千社の猿田彦大神を祀る神社の総本社はここと椿大神社との両説があるとのことです。境内に八角形の方位石(古殿地)があり、その触り方には諸説ありますが、神社では正式な手順は無いと説明されています。
