Fujisengen Shrine - Seto

I'm sure there is a benefit to you, so why don't you visit us once? In the Taisho era, there is a sense of history, because a large area was used, Shinto rituals are held during the year-end and New Year holidays.

Uenoyama-cho, Seto City What used to be a youth park at that time has undergone a major transformation with the 2005 Ai-Chikyu Expo. From the Sanage Green Road that connects Nagoya and Asuke, take Route 155, which runs north and south from the Yakusa IC, toward Seto, and you will reach Uenoyama. The right side (east) of the national highway is a newly reorganized and stylish residential area, and the left side (west) is quite different from the old-fashioned original scenery with houses scattered in the satoyama. The mountain in the east direction leads to Kaisho Forest, which was also the venue for the Expo, and further east to Mt. Sanage. Fuji Asama Shrine sits on the top of a mountain at an altitude of about 150 m, which is about 1 to 2 minutes ahead after passing the Uenoyamacho signal on the national highway. After turning left from the national highway, climb up a narrow uphill. The narrow uphill eventually leads to a prefabricated office or office that seems to be unused now. You can't drive beyond that point. The width was narrow and there was a vacant lot, so if you take care and stop there, you will be scolded because it is private land. You are told that you want to park in a place with the width of the road. To reach the shrine at the top, you will have to walk up the approach (mountain road) that has been maintained from here. A view toward the Seto Banpaku Memorial Park, where houses are lined up in an orderly manner to the east from the middle of the approach. The mountains are moderately deforested, well lit and open, with bright roads. If the Hyakudoishi in the photo appears, Fuji Asama Shrine is just a stone's throw away. After passing Hyakudoishi, you will see the sacred monument on the side of the approach and the temple on your right. There are quite a few shrines of Fujisan worship named Fuji in the neighborhood, and although I imagined a mountain that worships the sacred mountain Fuji because it is Fuji Asama Shrine, it seems that it is also a mountain of Mitake worship. The stone torii gate on the approach to the shrine, and the temple to the right is Mitake Shrine. If you look inside the hall through the glass, you can see the shrine with the heart written under the familiar crest of Yamamaru San. Ontake-ko is divided into Kakumyo-type, which opened Kurosawaguchi, and Fukan-type, which opened Otakiguchi. From there, it seems that birth lectures and wish lectures spread down in each region. I'm not confident, but the crest of "Yamamaru San ni Kokoro" may indicate a wish lecture. Going up from the temple, there are large stone monuments on both sides and a shrine embedded in the mountain surface, and a simple statue of Fudo Myo is enshrined. When you climb the last stone steps, you will reach the summit. There is a shrine on the front and a stone sign carved with Tateyama Shrine and Hakusan ?? Shrine on the right. The image of the precincts I had imagined was a narrow space where the trees were dense and overgrown, but the ground was neatly leveled and I didn't feel a sense of blockage. There is a shrine in the temple area surrounded by Tamagaki, where stone walls are piled up high, and the main shrine is enshrined in it. There seems to be a company on the left and right. There is a large sacred monument on the left side of the precincts and a chozubachi on the right side, but Shimizu was not filled. There is no faucet, how do you fill Shimizu? The torii gate and Tamagaki in the precincts were dedicated in 1918 (Taisho 7), and the lanterns are mainly from the Taisho era. A panoramic view of the shrine. Assuming that the center is Fuji Asama Shrine and one of the shrines on both sides is Mitake Shrine, what is the other? There is no company name tag and details such as the construction are unknown. I wonder if there are companies such as Fuji and Mitake of mountain worship on the top of a small mountain. Even in the Taisho era, it would not have been an environment where people could easily go out for worship and mountain climbing. A guardian dog in front of the main shrine that was behind Tamagaki and did not notice its existence (year of dedication unknown). Although it is small, there are brave things such as a glance at this. Asama Shrine, it is believed that the deity enshrines Konohanasakuya Himemei, who is said to have the virtues of giving small gifts and giving birth easily. The side of the shrine. The Tamagaki on the stone wall like a castle wall is said to be in Taisho 7th year, but it seems that it was rebuilt in 1933 (Showa 8), and it is engraved on the side of the stone steps in the front, which is written as Yamaguchi Glass Association. I am. glass? Although Seto has a strong impression of a pottery town, it is known as a source of silica stone, which is a raw material for glass, and the Yakusa area is also a source of silica stone, and there are open pit mines. When running in the mountains around here, you often see dump trucks running with sand on the loading platform, which is silica sand. As an aside, there was a time when I was young and liked to run around on dirt roads, so I was able to run well. The continuous maintenance of a shrine makes a big difference depending on whether or not there is a strong local company. Is there such a background that Fuji Asama Shrine can be maintained without being devastated at the top of the mountain? There is an open area on the west side of the main shrine area. You may have overlooked it, but I don't think there was a way for heavy equipment to open up here. Looking at it in this way, there is an atmosphere that used to be built in a castle. The shrine area seen from the square is exactly the teppen of the mountain. After worshiping, you can reach the car in 5 minutes down the approach. The slope is gentle, you can feel a little low mountain hike, and you can use sneakers for your feet. However, the dead leaves that have fallen to the ground are slippery if you take care of them, so although the altitude is low, you may need to be careful. I couldn't afford to enjoy the scenery, but when I look at it like this, I can see Mt. Sanage well. I used to go up with him when I had a husky, and maybe it was because he wasn't alone. Nowadays, when I walk alone like this, I don't feel like a black object running from the beginning. It is certain that he is not the one who runs. 2021/2/3 "Fuji Asama Shrine" Founded / unknown Religious God / Konohanasakuya Himemei Precincts company / 2 unknown companies Address / 1 Uenoyama-cho, Seto City Access by car / From Sanage Green Road Yakusa IC, head north on Route 155 in the direction of Seto for about 3 minutes and turn left.
