Kashima Onata Shrine - Watari District

[Yanxi-style Inner News Agency] Mu Oguo, Yori-gun, Lumao, Ota-name Shrine

It is a shrine that stands quietly in the depths of the mountains.

Kashima Onata Shrine is listed in the section of Mutsu Kuni Watari-gun in the Shinto shrine. It is also the theory of Kashima Itono Hiki Shrine described in the same county. In addition, there is the ruins of Watari-gun, Mutsu Province (Sanjusangendo Miyagi Ruins) in the first half of the Heian period. There is a red torii on the side of the road, and when you enter from there, you will find the next red torii about 100m ahead. Dive under the weed-covered torii gate that seems to reach your knees, and when you go deeper, it looks like a perfect mountain road, and I am prepared that this may be a difficult place. The road was divided into a T-shape, and there were two signboards, Chilbongsan on the left and Kashima Onata Shrine on the right. So, when I turned to the right, there was a staircase between the tall cedars, and I could see the roof of the shrine above it. I didn't have to be prepared. There is a Kashima-type shrine in Sanza in Watari-gun, and it is thought that it was set up when the Yamato kingship advanced to Tohoku. The third generation memoir says that there are two Kashima Mikogami companies in Watari-gun, so we may be one of them. Since the seedling god is a Mikogami, it is said to be the Mikogami of Kashima God, but now it enshrines Takemikazuchi. And although our company has the letter "thick", there is a theory that this may indicate that it was a shrine enshrined by Mr. Ta. In the third generation memoir (866), it is stated that there was a seedling god of Kashima Jingu of 38 companies in Mutsu, saying, "Hitachi Kuni Kashima Jingu Shrine, Okami no Nae Mikogami 38 companies in Mutsu." .. There is another interesting article in the third generation memoir, which says Kashima of Mutsu 38 companies because there was no offering of Kashima Jingu to Kashima Mikogami of Mutsu Province from 782 to 823. It is said that the seedling god was enshrined. What does this article show? In the first place, it is said that Mr. Ta was enshrined in Kashima Jingu and Mutsu's seedling god. The clan of the Hosai clan of Kashima Jingu changed to Nakatomi, and the original god of Kashima Jingu, that is, Takemikazuchi (Takekashima = after Kamuyaimimi in the Hitachikoku Fudoki), became a war god, Takemikazuchi. It is said that there is a high possibility that it has been replaced.

A small shrine that gathers faith in the local area It is a shrine standing in front of the approach road of the mountain path in the absence of the shrine. Inhabitants of the district invite the worshiper of the welfare shrine to do a variety of shrines including the New Festival and it will be a shrine that also carries on as a support for the mind of the area. Volunteers from the local residents regularly train the entrance to the shrine, but in summer the weeds become stronger and there are times when it is difficult to visit easily. History is old, and the name has also appeared in the Shogi ceremony book which was summarized in 927.
