土津神社｜こどもと出世の神さま - Yama District

In 2021.11.6, I visited Dotsu Shrine several times, but missed the time to go to the autumn leaves of the shrine ?. A kind parking lot guide and a clean toilet make me feel the local feelings and head to the shrine. I was impressed by the beauty of the hand water with chrysanthemums and the autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the water. The bright red autumn leaves that you can see as you walk forward ?. At the same time, "Shichigosan", young parents smiling at their beloved daughter dressed in sunny clothes under clear skies. Everything is smiling, such as the appearance of a couple and an elderly couple who love the autumn leaves ❗️. "Hoshina Masayuki Cemetery", the founder of the Aizu clan, headed to the shrine after visiting the shrine. I think of "hospitality" on the approach (about 500m) with stones that are sandwiched between cedar grove and the dead leaves of cedar are swept out. Like many worshipers who come and go, I left with my hands at Masayuki's graveyard.

It enshrines Hoshina Masayuki, the founder of the Aizu clan. It was a very nice place to feel at ease surrounded by a magnificent white torii gate and trees. From now on, it will have a different charm from the season of autumn leaves and the season of snow. The red stamp was written by hand. There is a parking lot in front of you, just across the road.

Dotsu Shrine is famous for its autumn colors such as Kaede. Read "Hanitsujinja". I also visited the autumn leaves on 2021.11.07. I enjoyed the beautiful autumn leaves. In the Aizu region, I had half given up thinking that the autumn leaves were over, but this year it seemed to be a little slow, so it was just the best time to see it. Speaking of Dotsu Shrine, it is Masayuki Hoshina. It is also a nationally designated historic site as the Aizu feudal lord Matsudaira family graveyard, as you can check the details. In addition, there is a pine tree hand-planted by the Miyake people in the precincts, and there are many things to see as well as worship. Partly because the autumn leaves were in full bloom, the nearby free parking lot was always full, and there was congestion waiting for the parking lot to become available. I wonder if there are few parking lots for worshipers? It may be unavoidable due to the location, but it would be helpful if the parking lot was a little easier to enter, but it was a bit disappointing.

Hanitsu Shrine. Is there such a white torii gate! I found it on the net and was shocked. It seemed that the torii was melting into the snow and white clouds. The blue sky that sometimes shows my face was also nice. The white torii was fantastic.
