Jinsekijinja - Kameishi Shrine - Ayauta District

"Utazu Town: Kamiishi Shrine / Kameishi Shrine" In the old days, it was the sea up to this area. There is a legend that Kotohira Okami landed on this land on a large turtle, and the turtle turned into a stone is the stone of this shrine, which is why it is also called Kameishi Shrine. Before the Corona disaster, a small but Shinto ritual was held. I think it's a shrine rooted in the local area. Hopefully, I also wanted to see the scenery around here before it became a landfill. [From the information board] Once upon a time, Kotohira Ogami came from the sea on a large turtle and landed here and was enshrined on Mt. Zozu. And the big turtle became a stone. That is our stone. There is a legend (Kagawa Prefecture Shrine magazine) and it is commonly called Kameishi Shrine. In addition, in the 10th year of Tenbun (1541), a suspicious light shined from the undeclared (southwest) of Konoura on the Kompira-san worship spot map, making it impossible to fish. The fisherman was in trouble and was praying to Kompira Daigongen, but on the evening of June 17th of that year, an old man with white hair who was over 100 years old came from somewhere and stood on a stone in the shape of a turtle. Around that time, what shines from the southwest is the work of the spirit statue that was left unburned by the fire at Mt. Zozu. Look for it and place it cleanly. " When I hurriedly went to Mt. Zozu and talked about this, I was surprised to find a person from Ichiyama. Since he was there, he took it down and placed it in one place. This is the principal image of the current Kannon-do, and the fishermen thought that his old man would be the benefit of the appearance of Kompira God, and every year on June 17th, he chanted as Kameishi Daigongen and worshiped the villagers in the distance. be. In the picture of Kompira Daigongen in the Edo period, the current Mihotsuhime shrine in front of the votive tablet is the Kannon-do.
