Jodono Shrine - Nishitokyo

You may want to visit if you want to feel relieved. I feel that the temple that feels the history is quietly reclining, and the approach with the distance invites a time slip. I need a little imagination, but the atmosphere is sloppy.

It was a night worship. The long approach is strict and gentle, and it is a mysterious space that welcomes worshipers. The hall of worship is exactly a shrine, but the back of the main hall is a sign of a temple ? I saw it as the home of the Goryu God ✨ People who like nature, including heaven, earth and water, are welcome ☺️ Thank you to those who are always well managed ❕ Let's continue to take good care of it

I read "Jodo Jinja". It is said that it was founded in 1622 by enshrining the Captain Daigongen (current Tanashi Shrine) in Yado. The priest deities are Tobe Tomei, Dainichi Reiki Kimei (Amaterasu Okami). The stone lantern pair is a cultural property designated by Nishi Tokyo City. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from Hibarigaoka station.

A shrine that I've always been interested in. I was surprised that I had a deep relationship with Tanashi Shrine! ️ Very calm and soft godliness.

It is said that Jodono Shrine was built in 1622 as a guardian of Kamihoya Village by enshrining Jodono Daigongen (currently Tanashi Shrine) in Yato. Of the deities of the gods, Shinatsuhiko and Tobe, Shinatsuhiko was transferred to Jodono Shrine Gongen (currently Tanashi Shrine) and became the god of the couple of Uehoya and Tanashi. The Shinmei shrine is enshrined in the 40th year of the Meiji era. The cedar shinboku of Jodono Shrine was destroyed by a lightning strike about 30 years ago.

This shrine is located in a slightly inconvenient location, more than 20 minutes on foot from Hibarigaoka and Hoya stations. I visited this shrine because I heard that the descendants of Kusunoki Masashige were guardians. The heat from time to time made me flutter, and the old man in a light van passed by me, who was holding my smartphone to see the google map, as annoying. Well, this area must have been a shrine? When I looked at the road with that in mind, there was an approach lined with zelkova that was cut off by the road, and Jodono Shrine. It was a visit immediately, but it was a shrine full of wildness. There are many mossy zelkova trees, but some of them are stumps, and one or two of them are working hard. Is it a typhoon or something that has been intensifying recently that even such a big tree can be done? However, I couldn't see the name of Kusunoki Masashige in the expected Kikusui crest and the historical writing, and there was only a chrysanthemum crest that tells the remnants of State Shinto. However, when I went to the Hokouin Temple in Betsutoji, my thoughts were shaken. It seems that the temple crest of Hokouin is a chrysanthemum crest like the shrine crest of Jodono Shrine, and it was found that the chrysanthemum crest of Jodono Shrine is not after the Meiji State Shinto. However, if it is a descendant of Kusunoki Masashige in the oral tradition of Jodono Shrine, I think it is Kikusui, not Kiku, so I am a little confused. For example, the Shimazu family crest is a circle with a cross, but the branch family uses a cross-shaped family crest. In other words, the Miyakonojo Shimazu family is a family crest that looks like a Phillips screw with no cross in the circle, and the Hirasa Kitago family (Satsumasendai City) is like an aiming mark with a large cross in the mouth. It is a family crest. The chrysanthemum crest of Jodono Shrine may be a variant of the chrysanthemum crest of Kikusui, but even if the person who is in charge of the priesthood refrains from the head family, will he use the chrysanthemum crest of the Emperor's family? The question remains ... For the time being, the history was as follows. "Although there is a tradition that it was enshrined during the Kenchō era (1249 to 1256), a copy of the temple's memorial service (Bunsei 11th year 1828) discovered by our company (Hokouin priest) discovered in 1973. ) Says the following article. Jodono Shrine The priestess of the class is worshiped by Tomatake Daimyojin in Hizen Kuni Kibijin Asamine, and worshiped by Hyuga Kuni Odo Tachibana Myougahara. 惟 (this) Genna 8th year (1622) February auspicious day It is presumed that Genna was solicited on February 8th, 8th year of Genna. I'm not sure if I'm reading it correctly because the historical writings are displayed at the top of the shrine, covered with vinyl, and written with a brush. However, it seems that they are soliciting and enshrining Tomadai Myojin, Jodono Myojin, and Musashi Sanmine. For the time being, I couldn't see the descendants of Kusunoki Masashige or the dedication from Tanashi Shrine at all, and I couldn't get the information I wanted at all. At least the information that the company was founded in the 8th year of Genna, which is explained by Tanashi Shrine, seems to be certain here as well. Odo in Hyuga Province refers to the plains north of the Oyodo River in the Miyazaki Plain. Aoki refers to the area downstream of the Shinbeppu River, in front of the current Aeon Mall Miyazaki, where Aoki Elementary School, Aoki Public Hall, Aoki Junior High School, Aoki Nursery School, and Aoki Kita Elementary School are lined up diagonally. is. The road that separates Aoki Nursery School and Shiritsu Junior High School is Gongen-dori. However, there are no shrines or temples in Gongencho, Miyazaki City. In addition, Awakigahara is a dull Awakihara, and refers to the forest area near the coast where Izanagi frustratedly returned from Yomi and then misogied at Eda Shrine. You can see it as if it were. By the way, a little north of Eda Shrine, the original character was raised and it was claimed that it became the origin of Sumiyoshi Taisha nationwide because the god of Sumiyoshi Taisha was born when Izanagi made a miso. There is Sumiyoshi Taisha. Personally, I can't say anything ... When I thought there was something, I felt like I was shown an empty landscape that I knew in an unexpected place. There is an episode that the Meiji government searched for the descendants of Kusunoki Masashige and tried to collect them but could not find them. However, there are many who are descendants of Kusunoki Masashige. Yui Shosetsu, who caused the turmoil of Yui Shosetsu in the Edo period, named himself the successor to Kusunoki with his wife, the daughter of a descendant of Kusunoki Masashige. In addition, although the surnames are slightly different even in modern times, there is a geophysicist and geographer named Dr. Ko Kusunoki, who specializes in glaciology and geography in both polar regions. Well, Kusunoki Masashige also had a breathing woman. I haven't investigated why it is in Tokyo yet, but there is a tomb of Masashige Kusunoki at Homyoji Temple in Toshima Ward. I think that there should be more descendants if it is not limited to males. For the time being, I think it's okay to enrich the history a little more. According to the theory of the Nishitokyo City Board of Education in the precincts, it is not strange that he became a village guardian in Eisho 2 (1505), so there is a contradiction in the content. Also, personally, I'm worried about how the precincts get rough. The zelkova on the front of the approach is 50 selections of trees in West Tokyo, and the front is solid, but the bark on the back is peeled off and there are holes, so I am quite worried. Technically speaking, the bark of a tree is made of a strong substance called lignin. Only fungal mushrooms can naturally break down lignin. Termites and the like can be decomposed in the part of cellulose that is peeled off the bark, which is generally used for white wood. Strictly speaking, termites do not have the function of digesting cellulose, and microorganisms that coexist in the body of termites decompose cellulose. Often tree stumps have a solid bark but are devoured inside, indicating that lignin protection was working to the end. Also, before mushrooms appeared on Earth, the changed bark material that was not decomposed in the soil supports our civilization today as coal. In this way, bark (lignin) is a very important substance for trees. Apparently, no mushrooms are growing on the zelkova in the precincts, but moss grows on the bark and the cellulose part underneath, and it seems that it is considerably damaged. It is advisable to consult a professional tree doctor for treatment or to install stanchions before the typhoon season. Also, as a Miyazaki citizen, I think it's okay to remove stumps that don't have hikobae, and plant them like Hyuga's Obi cedar, which has a long history, or camphor tree or Hyuganatsu. Not surprisingly. In addition, although Hizen Province is Saga and Nagasaki, there is a camphor tree shinboku that is still alive even after the bombing at Sanno Shrine in Nagasaki Prefecture, which is known for its one-legged torii gate. Isn't it okay to plant trees associated with such a venerable prefecture? If there is a legend of the descendants of Kusunoki Masashige, it is especially camphor tree. For the time being, it seems that the sacred tree was a cedar tree, but it seems that it was hit by a lightning strike 30 years ago, and now it seems that the young cedar tree received from Haruna Shrine is being raised as a sacred tree. In addition to lightning strikes, Jodono Shrine continued to suffer, and it seems that there have been recent incidents of salt being sprinkled on the precincts and main shrine. What Romans did to Carthage! On the other hand, I'm not sure if the owner of the suspicious faith tried to cleanse something with salt in good faith ... Finally, this will be an unmanned company. If you want a red stamp, it will be awarded at the original Tanashi Shrine, but even at Tanashi Shrine, the red stamp will belong to Tanashi Shrine, and only the part written with a brush will be the Jodono Shrine ... It felt like a shoulder-opening, but it was a nice shrine if I didn't have excessive expectations, so I would like to keep an eye on the growth of the new Shinboku.

It is a shrine located at the midpoint between Hibarigaoka Station and Hoya Station. It takes 20 to 30 minutes on foot. The approach is long, the surrounding area is relatively quiet, and there are few worshipers, so you can worship slowly.

It seems to be read as a shrine, but the rumored power spot was quite close to my house. It's a simple shrine, but you can feel the aura of the guardian. The long and characteristic atmosphere of the approach to the shrine has a lonely impression due to several dead trees and fences under construction, but it is probably a shrine loved by the locals. It's a time when 8 people come every 15 to 20 minutes. Perhaps because it's New Year, it's refreshing that the mobile car-shaped cafe was parked. Coffee and hot dogs were on sale, and shrine maidens (who are part-time workers) were also seen buying for lunch. If I had visited Higashifushimi Inari Shrine and Tanashi Shrine, I would have lined up for an hour. There is a difference of dozens of times in scale alone, but this is a branch of Tanashi Shrine, and it seems that the two are a couple god. Although small, it's actually a power spot. I like the size and size that makes me want to come again, such as the size that I feel close to me and the height of the beams.
