元木神社（日進天満宮）

The shrine is an extremely simple shrine with only one brand-new Myojin-style torii gate, a pair of Nobori, a shrine building, and a stone monument. There are no basins, chozuya, pole storage for Nobori, or Setsumatsusha. Hmm. The torii used to be a decaying Ryobu torii, but it was rebuilt to the current Myojin torii about four years ago, and at that time, the approach to the precincts, which was grassy, ​​was paved with concrete, and white gravel was also placed on the precincts. It is spread out and maintained neatly. In addition, the building of the shrine itself is relatively new, but from the information obtained from the surveys conducted so far, the existence of the shrine itself was determined by the Imperial Land Survey Department (currently the Geographical Survey Institute of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism). The shape of the torii is left in the 1 / 50,000 topographic map issued on August 30, 1910, which is the most published material in the materials at hand. It's old. In addition, the name of the shrine "Motoki Shrine" is displayed on the electronic map "Buried Cultural Property Storage Area" issued by Saitama City. The only surviving material in the area is the stone monument "Tenjin Shared Forest Monument" erected in February 1917 in the precincts. According to this stone monument, it was originally called Tenjin and was an unqualified shrine, so it is written that it was enshrined at Nisshin Shrine (enshrined about 920 m south of this shrine) by official order in 1907. .. Since this shrine is not currently a member of a religious corporation, it is highly likely that it has nothing to do with Nisshin Shrine, which is under the control of Hikawa Shrine.

When you enter from the narrow approach to the house, you will see a magnificent forest of sacred trees inside. It has a site where the ball gravel is neatly spread in the rear There is a shrine The inside of the shrine is all white and refreshing, and the forest in the back is well maintained. Attentive
