Hyakuri Shrine - Omitama

It is a shrine that changes the concept of a shrine. The torii is small and it is best for a couple to dive with their arms crossed The pedestal is not circular but reminiscent of a fighter canopy The shrine is made of concrete and the roof is decaying. There seems to be a plan to rebuild in the near future, but it seems that funding is difficult. It is said that it was built in front of the main gate of the former Navy Air Service, and I am deeply moved when I think of the ancestors who would have come here and scattered in the sky.

I have visited "Hyakuri Shrine" in the neighborhood of Ibaraki Airport! At the entrance, there is a signboard of "Hyakuri Shrine" and a stone monument of "Hyakuri Shrine" dug in stone. If you look at the shrine from the entrance, you can see the rough approach, the concrete torii gate, and the shrine (main shrine), although I don't know if it was the damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. If you follow the approach where the traces of cutting bamboo and trees are fresh, you will find a small torii gate made of concrete. The shape of the torii is different from other shrines, and the straw seats and pedestals at the bottom of the torii's pillars are interesting because they imitate the fixed landing gear "Spats". However, what I felt unfortunately was the existence of a shrine like a pillbox or a guard post, which was hardened with Beton, rather than concrete. At the very least, it doesn't matter if it's a saddle of a sacred sword, so when I worshiped while wondering if something could be done, I was looking for a donation on the signboard. "Request for support of Hyakuri Shrine maintenance project At Hyakuri Shrine, we are worried about the current situation and are planning to renovate the shrine and maintain the precincts. However, since it is a shrine that has no parishioners to rely on, it is difficult to secure business funds. We would like to thank all the worshipers for their continued support. You can apply for donations at Soga Shrine. " Then, can you buy not only the red stamp of Hyakuri Shrine but also the red stamp book to help you? ● Company name: Hyakuri Shrine ● Address: Near Yamano, Omitama City, Ibaraki Prefecture ● Structure: Concrete / tile-roof ● Deity: Amaterasu Omikami ● Origin: In 1938, the Hyakuri Gahara Navy Airfield was constructed in Tachibana Village and Shirakawa Village, Higashiibaraki County, which is now Omitama City, as an auxiliary airfield for the Tsukuba Navy Air Group. Hyakuri Shrine is a shrine enshrined as the guardian deity of the Hyakuri Gahara Navy Airfield, and the current enshrined place is near the main gate of the former Hyakuri Gahara Navy Airfield. ● Goshuin: Received at Soga Shrine, 300 yen. The F4EJ Phantom also sells the Hyakuri Shrine Goshuincho on the cover. By the way, the history of Hyakuri is the original airfield ... Initially, the Hyakurigahara Navy Airfield was mainly a base for primary training, but from around 1940, it will also serve as a training course for carrier-based bombing and carrier-based attacks. Around April 1945, the Kanto-Capital Air Defense Force "601st Naval Air Corps" advanced, and a Zero-type shipboard fighter was deployed as an air defense aircraft. After the end of the war, the troops were dismantled and the airfield became a settlement for repatriates. However, the Air Self-Defense Force Hyakuri Base was established on the site of the Hyakuri Gahara Navy Airfield in 1966 because it needed a base to which the fighter squadron responsible for air defense in the capital belonged.

I also purchased a red stamp book etc. to support the maintenance business. Donations and red stamps can be accepted and purchased at the Soga Shrine on the immediate side. The purchase condition is after visiting this shrine.

It seems that it was bushy and bobo two years ago, but it has become much easier to pray just by clearing it and laying gravel. It was shocking when I first visited, but it was more integrated with nature and fresher than a company that gathers people with gorgeous decorations. It is said that the managed Soga Shrine plans to rebuild Hyakuri Shrine in the next few years. Phantom Omamori and Goshuinsho are distributed in connection with Hyakuri, so please cooperate with the reconstruction fund! The shrine is decaying and wobbly (crying) We have provided vases and Sakaki, but please provide a pedestal for someone. When you receive the red stamp, please be sure to visit here before heading to Sogo Shrine (* ॑ ꒳ ॑ *)

I asked for a red stamp book. It is a shrine with an impressive small torii gate. Since there is no parishioner, it is not maintained. We are collecting cooperation money to rebuild. I will help you by purchasing a red stamp book with a little effort. You can get it after worshiping at Soga Shrine.

A shrine in the bush. The money box was a toy as the word of mouth. The red stamp is too cool.

It is an unmanned shrine. There was a toy-like offering box in the main hall made of concrete. Please be careful after the rain, as your feet are not good. Goshuin and Goshuincho can be purchased at Soga Shrine. This is fine. The cover of the fighter is cool and you don't have to be a maniac! I purchased it as a donation for rebuilding the main hall.
