Susa Jinja shrine

4.5

An ancient Shinto shrine located in Izumo City, Tottori Prefecture which is even mentioned in the ancient “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki,” a book describing the culture and customs of the region. The shrine is primarily dedicated to the god Susanoo-no-mikoto, who, according to Japanese legend, slew the fearsome eight-headed dragon Yamata-no-orochi. It is said that this area was the last place Susanoo-no-mikoto pioneered, after which he gave it his own name and passed away. In addition to a towering Japanese cedar tree over 1,300 years old, the shrine’s grounds are dotted with spots deemed the “Seven Wonders of Susa.” The shrine is famous for the three rituals conducted during the annual festival held on April 19 as well as the Kiriaki Shinji, a ritual called the Nenbutsu Odori (“Buddhist Prayer Dance”) conducted on August 15. In recent years, the shrine has also become popular as a mystical “power spot.”

古事記や出雲風土記を事前に調べて(YouTubeなどを見るだけでも良い)から行くと大変面白かったです。霊感など全然無い私でも空気感が違う居心地の良い場所でした。素戔嗚尊すさのお様のファンになり神話巡りをした1つの社です。井原さんがパワースポットで紹介していた杉の木に手をかざして沢山パワーを頂きました。

山あいにある小さな神社「須佐神社」ですが、自分的にはかなりお気に入りです。御祭神は、「八岐大蛇（ヤマタノオロチ）」を退治したと言われている「須佐能袁命〈須佐之男命〉」、そしてその退治で助けられ、妻となった「稲田比売命 (いなたひめのみこと)」、妻の両親「足摩槌命 (あしなづちのみこと)」「手摩槌命...
