Kamimeguro Hikawa Shrine

3.5

"Located here is a ""chinjugami,"" a type of guardian deity that watches over the surrounding area, and this one in particular has been here since the area was called Kamimeguro-mura. The shrine is mainly dedicated to Susanoo, a Shinto deity associated with eradicating disease. Also enshrined here is the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, and Sugawara Michizane , a Shinto deity for learning and scholarship. At the front you can find stone steps formed from a natural cliff that makes up the ""Fuji Sengen Shrine Mountain Path,"" which until 1985 was a spot where visitors could look up at Mt. Fuji. Nowadays, the shrine is mostly associated with warding off bad spirits and celebrating different stages of life, including a rite of passage for newborns called ""miyamairi"", and for children reaching the age of seven, five, and three called ""shichi-go-san."" Ever since the Tensho era (1573-1593) during an enshrinement, there are records and legends preserved here regarding disease and illnesses unknown to ""ujigami,"" a type of guardian deity that wards off sickness."

石段を息絶え絶えに登りきった達成感はハンパない、です。もともと甲州・武田信玄の家臣・加藤氏が上野原よりこの地に迎えたといわれています。疫病知らずと言われていますが、今も変わりません。帰りは坂道を下りました。そのほうが安全です。

池尻大橋に所用があったついでに「上目黒氷川神社」に寄ってみました。東急・池尻大橋駅から渋谷方面に玉川道り(R246)を歩くこと5分程、目の前に現れるは、かなり急で長い石段。私はこの石段を、ツレはこの石段を嫌って、脇にあるジグザグの登山道のような坂道を登ります。お互いに登り切って、無事、境内に到着。参道の中央に本殿、左手には稲荷神社、右手には富士浅間神社が鎮座しております。先ずは、本殿に、続いて...
