Izumi Shrine

3.5

This Shinto shrine is located inside Suizenji Jojuen Garden, a Momoyama-style circular strolling garden. The shrine was erected in 1878 to pray for the restoration of the local area, a castle town beneath Kumamoto Castle which was devastated by the Satsuma Rebellion. The shrine is principally dedicated to Hosokawa Fujitaka, founder of the Hosokawa clan; Hosokawa Tadaoki, the second Hosokawa lord; Hosokawa Tadatoshi, the third Hosokawa lord; and Hosokawa Shigekata, the eighth Hosokawa lord. The shrine is also dedicated to later lords of the Hosokawa clan as well as Gracia, wife of Tadaoki. The current shrine was rebuilt in 1973 after the original was damaged during World War II. The shrine is still widely visited and is believed to grant worshipers luck in scholarly, martial, and industrial endeavors.

스이젠지 공원 안에 있는 아담한 신사

Reviewed : 2023.03.25

스이젠지 공원 내부를 돌다보면 만날 수 있는 아담한 신사입니다. 호소카와 가문 일부 인물들의 위패를 모시고 있으며 이따금 종교적인 행사가 열리기도 한답니다.

水前寺成趣園内に鎮座する神社、水前寺成趣園に湧く泉にちなんだ名付けです。細川氏累代を祀っていますが、西南の役以降の創建ですから特に古いものではありません。薪能や流鏑馬等の神事は著名であるようです。

出水神社は、「いずみじんじゃ」と読みます。熊本の水前寺成趣園の中にある神社です。水前寺成趣園は、熊本藩の初代から３代のお殿様が長い年月をかけて造成したという素晴らしい庭園です。その庭園内にふさわしく、こちらの神社は、熊本藩の歴代の藩主を祀る神社なんだそうです。公園の雰囲気によく合った、落ち着きと風格を感じる神社でした。
