Katsuragi Hitokotonushi Shrine - Gose

It is the head office of Hitokotonushi Shrine in Japan. He is the god who listens to a single wish. I have been helping many times at the Izumi Shrine on the summit of Mt. Izumi Katsuragi, so this time I came here to pray and dedicated the votive tablet. A large ginkgo tree, which is said to be 1200 years old, is enshrined as a sacred tree in the precincts. It is called "milk ginkgo" and is said to improve the feeding of children and the production of milk. Many Inari shrines and small shrines are enshrined. There is a parking lot in the immediate vicinity, but the surrounding area is a good photo spot with cluster amaryllis, and there were many people, cars were full, and parking on the street was amazing. Since the area around the parking lot is small, getting in and out when it is crowded may be a little difficult for large vehicles and those who are unfamiliar with driving.

When I visited Nara, I visited based on the law of "The palace whose name is difficult is venerable." If you have a single wish, you can hear it. On both sides of the main shrine, there are large trees that have been watching worshipers for a long time, and it is worth seeing. I am grateful to you for your kindness.

The long approach to the shrine was visible so as to intersect with Route 30. At the same time as my wife shouted, "Oh! That's a huge number of people," I saw a line of cars parked on the side of the road. Even though it was still before 10 o'clock, cars came in from behind, and even if I waited for a while, it didn't seem to be available, so I told the driver's eldest son to make a U-turn to change the schedule. At that moment, a man crossing the front of the car with his camera pointed forward and nodded at us through the windshield. "Oh, the car in front seems to come out and vacate," I'm convinced conveniently that God's guidance must be given to the good timing. Anyway, how many people there are. I found the answer when I passed under the road. Red cluster amaryllis were in full bloom on both sides of the approach. The official name is Katsuragi Hitokoton Shrine, and the deities are Hitokotonushi Okami and Takeru Segawa (Emperor Yuryaku). Emperor Yuryaku, who was also called the Great Evil Emperor in the Nihon Shoki, is said to have changed the Yamato kingship, which was a coalition of influential powerful tribes in various places, to a centralized system under the exclusive control of the great king. The emperor who killed the head of Mr. Katsuragi, the emperor of Japan, who had been in power as a relative of the emperor, and expelled him from the administration. The feeling of the encounter between Hitokotonushi Okami and the emperor is different in Kojiki, Nihon Shoki, and Shoku Nihongi, so what was the truth? The imagination (delusion) is agitated without permission. As I slowly walked around the precincts, which had a nice atmosphere and many attractions, I separated from my wife and eldest son. Since the approach is a straight road, I didn't realize that I would meet him soon, but my wife bought taro because it looked delicious at the farmer's sales office along the approach, and my eldest son went back to the car to pick up the camera. I entered the rice field instead of the shrine and released the shutter to Higanbana. What did you come to? The taro was delicious when boiled with squid at home.

The bright red cluster amaryllis was a very beautiful contrast in the green countryside. The mysterious atmosphere of the shrine was also good. There was also a ginkgo tree that was given a child,

A famous shrine that asks for a word. The precincts are not so large and the time to look around is short. It is a calm shrine. This place is at the end of a narrow, unpaved road. When you come to the front of the shrine, there is a parking lot next to it, but the car is filled up quickly because it is small. When you can't stop, everyone parks the car at an angle on the side of the road. Around the equinoctial week, the cluster amaryllis blooms around this shrine, creating a wonderful view. Early September was the best time to see this year.

(9/17) The cluster amaryllis along the approach to the shrine is in full bloom and is very beautiful, so it will be crowded with cars by the best time to see next week. There is a vacancy in the first parking lot closest to the shrine except because it is full of people and it is difficult to pass through the approach. Thanks to the generous owner of the rice terraces, the rice ears and cluster amaryllis that have begun to color from the ridges can be seen nearby, making it a great photo spot. Everyone enjoyed it even though their shoes became muddy after the rain. At this time of year, the mud-covered taro sold on the side of the approach to the shrine is a favorite and is delicious. Also, if you go straight down the approach, there is a brewery that makes delicious nostalgic soy sauce, and I am looking forward to buying it and going home. Hitokotonushi, which is enshrined at the head office of Hitokotonushi Shrines all over Japan, also appeared in "Kojiki" and when he met Emperor Yuryaku, he said, "I am a god who says bad things, good things, and utters." A person who introduced himself to the image of a omikuji, "a god who listens to any wish." I don't know if there is a difference in merit, but it is a rare shrine with Hyakudoishi standing in several places including the front of the hall of worship. There are many Setsumatsusha and end shrines, and Kasuga Taisha's Hitokotonushi Shrine is especially popular.

I couldn't go silently from the morning and went silently from the torii ^ _ ^ It was good in a quiet and cozy place, but I think it would be better for the elderly and those with poor legs to use the steep slope on the left side of the stairs, but unfortunately there are no handrails and basic barrier-free support is not provided. .. Ichiyo Rai Amulet was given to me other than my own. In addition, I told the number of people in the family and got the same number of skin guards.

There are a few things and I want to change my mind ? You can get a bill for Ichiyo's return at this ⛩ ^ _ ^ Limited bills up to Setsubun I went to Gose city in Nara 2 with friends It was a very nice place in the mountains We asked ⛩ how to put the bills and the direction. It seemed to be available from 2 days before the winter solstice. When I went, ? was also full. Everyone came to get the bill. Ichiyo coming back Being the day of the winter solstice Winter is gone and spring is coming (New Year is coming) Going for luck after bad things continue That's right ♪ Good luck ?
