Izumo Shrine - Kameoka

A shrine behind Honume Elementary School. There is an Egui monolith.

It is enshrined at the foot of the mountain off the highway. It reminds us that the popular name has evolved due to various circumstances. And most surprising is the huge stone in front of the company. Probably, even in times when there was no shrine, this megalith was considered to be a sacred body. The implications of this boulder are endless, whether it was originally or brought in.

There is a wonderful Iwakura. You can't get there on Google Maps

Banza is amazing. I think it's easier to access from the national highway to the road in front of the elementary school. If you are guided by Google, you will be guided to a narrow road. There is a parking lot behind the elementary school. It is a good shrine with Banza in some places.

* Izumo Daijingu in Tamba Kuniichigu is located in Chitose-cho, Kameoka City, not the main shrine. Settled 10km northeast. A shrine in Honme-cho, Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture. Shikinaisha, Meishin Taisha. The main deity is Okuninushi. Banza faith. It is said that there was a shrine called Izumo Daimyojin near Oiwa in ancient times. During the Warring States period, the shrine and old records were burned down by the war. A person who settled down about 2000 years ago welcomed a god to Oiwa and worshiped it. The sign says, "It was worshiped by the same Izumo tribe as Hiromine Shrine." Hiromine Shrine is a shrine located in Honme-cho, Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture. It was solicited during the year of Jōwa (834-848), and the main deity was Susa Otoko. Near the main shrine, there is a banza called Motomiya. It has a longer history than Kyoto Yasaka Shrine. It was called Gozu Tenno. You can enter the site from the southwest side of Honume Elementary School, but be careful because the road is narrow. Roadside Station Galleria Kameoka, 500m to the west, turn left at the National Highway No. 9 / Yobe intersection, 2.6km, turn right along the road, and proceed for 600m. Merge onto National Highway 372 and turn right. After 2.7km, turn left at the Yunohana Onsen west traffic light. Go straight on at the Honume intersection and follow Prefectural Road 731, a narrow road. The road turns to the left and after 150m there is an intersection, turn right, then immediately right, cross the river for 150m and you will meet the shrine. The elementary school is located on the right, but there is a water supply facility in front, and I want to park next to it. As an additional note, I will proceed from the back of the Honme Post Office, but please note that it will not be possible to proceed with a vehicle after all.

Some of them are also written as the former Tanba Kuni no Shikinaisha (Ronsha), but since there is Izumo Daijingu, is it just for reference? The parking lot was small, but the road to get there may be narrow Iwakura at the entrance of the precincts? A big rock like that will welcome you first There is also a big couple cedar Speaking of the characteristic that rocks are rugged in the precincts (mainly mountains), it seems that it can not be said that it is a feature. The main shrine is surrounded by a wall, so you cannot see it clearly. There was also a remnant of the old Shinbutsu Shugo or a temple nearby.
