Bito Shrine - Iwami District

It is said that the settlement of "Shikinaisha Mitori Shrine" is Otata's (Mitori Valley). The village of Ota is located along the mountain where the Odagawa that flows through Iwami Town interacts with the Gamo River, and the "Mitori Shrine" sits on the summit of Nakayama in the village.

Go straight through the forehead in the center of the torii, passing through the forehead marked "Owawa no Yashiro". Then go a little to the left, and if you then go straight to the left at an acute angle, you will arrive at the worship hall / main hall. On the left and right sides of the middle gate, one guardian shrine protects the shrine, and both sides of the approach are thick forests.

Welcomed and worshiped by Izumo-type and new Okazaki-type guardian dogs The main shrine's crests are Aoi and Swallowtail butterfly. Aoi is the same as Temi Shrine in Homi-gun, but is the swallowtail butterfly the Ikeda family? It seems that the Ikeda family was revered during the Edo period. It seems that only the Ojinja Shrine in Kino-gun has not been identified, but there are theories such as Mitori Shrine, Uradome's Arasuna Shrine, and Oyu Shrine, which enshrine the Ojinja Shrine and lack the character of the god. From Mitori Shrine, the same Shikinai shrine, Sayano Hyoshu Shrine, can be seen in the immediate vicinity, and the reason why it is so crowded is that 1500 years ago, it may be a remnant of the prosperity of this area.
