Igaminu Shrine - Tottori

Torii at the entrance

Good luck, kun

I had a hard time knowing the entrance to the approach. Go further from the torii gate, stop at the mountaineering parking lot and turn around the pond from there and enter the right approach. The reason why I didn't understand the entrance was that there should be guidance in the comments of other people, but it was lost and I didn't know. When I was walking along the approach, I sometimes worried about the explosion of the deer and the deer that ran away crossed in front of me, but I felt relieved when I felt like a shrine while walking. Did.

It is said that Emperor Kotoku was founded in 648. Yoshida Iemoto's "Enki Shiki God Name Book" went down to Inaba-kuni, the year 360 of Emperor Nintoku 55, in Emperor Nintoku, and left his pair of shoes in Kamekanayama, the hillside of Ubeyama, where our company sits. There is a note that it has become unknown, and it is said to be the end of Takeuchi Jukuroku. There are two stones called "Futoshiishi" left behind in the present Honden, but this is an exposed part of the burial mound, and the legend about Takeuchi Jukuroku is said to be an association of later generations. In "Inaba Kuni Ifukube Shinkoshi", Mr. Ifukube's 16th generation, Sukune Iwashi Hikoshuku became Inaba Kunizo as the Emperor of the Emperor's Emperor, and the swords etc. There is a description that it was enshrined as a god, and there is no description about the company in the same book, so assuming that this article is about the company, it may be the creation at that time. The hill behind the main shrine is called Kamegane, and is said to have been the trace of the ascension of the festival god since ancient times. Last year, an old burial mound with a clay floor was discovered under the remains of these pairs of shoes. A pit-type stone chamber was found 1.2 m below the ground, and it was found to be part of the tumulus (or the front-back tumulus) from the end of the Kofun period to the middle period.

"Yukami Nyu Shrine" sits at the place where you have climbed up the green moss covered stone steps between the mountain stream flowing down the mountain stream (Fudotaki) and the cedar that is almost 1000 years old. A stone statue of (Fudoson) is guarding the shrine with the sword facing upward in the precinct on the left side, facing the front shrine. As is expected, the shrine area is full of shrines, tabs, camellias, and old Japanese cedar trees, and the fragrance of the trees drifts. A narrow mountain stream quietly flows down the approach from left to right, crossing the wooden bridge over it. You can also hear the beautiful, clear cry of the frog from here and there. ‥ I intentionally shrines will visit while enjoying such a wonderful approach. Now, the officials dispatched from the Imperial Court in the Nara Heian era and visiting the shrines in Inaba no Kuni must have had a hard time visiting "the intentional shrine." If the situation at that time was more developed than it is now, that might not have happened, but what about it? .. I feel that I understood the meaning of yesterday's words. I thought that it is a happy thing to be able to worship the “Imagination Nami Shrine” now with a calm feeling.

Igami Nujinja Enki-shiki Naisha The deity is Sanoo Hayasu and one other god. It is old and prestigious because it was awarded the sixth rank in Ninju and was appointed as a messenger in the 5th and 3rd years of Engi. It was the Soja of Negidani, Kagodani, Kagodani, Hirooka, Funaki, Kaizoji, and Katsuragi, but later the five villages were separated and became the deities of Kagodani and Kagodani. A small valley such as a trekking route along the way and Fudo Waterfall. The 100 steps of mossy stairs with solid civil engineering work are very atmospheric. It feels like there is a god in the surrounding nature rather than the main shrine. According to ancient documents, it was a murder-robbery during the Kyoho period and a den of thieves during the Tenpo period, which shook people, while during the feudal era it was a place for samurai spiritual training alongside Tokuo no Mori.
