Hitokotonushi-jinja Shrine (一言主神社)
4.0
This shrine is located in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture. From the teaching that one will be granted a fortune once in one’s life, this shrine is famous for the deity that grants a requested prayer, even if it is just spoken once. Hence the Hitokoto Myojin, meaning One Word Deity. Constructed in 809 A.D., many visit this spot year round. One of the few shrines visited at New Years, it attracts around 150,000 visitors annually during the 3 celebrated days of New Year, during which many booth shops line the entry way.

拝殿 廻って由緒読んでトイレへ
賽銭してろうそくも立てました
一言だけ願いました 叶いましたらまたお伺いします 次の一言考えて‥
桜の季節は、桜満開の静かな神社で、毎年9月13日には、例祭でからくり綱火が行われます。

Ibaraki Areas

Just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
