Kiyama Shrine - Maniwa

It is a shrine that combines the age of history with the height of formalism. Susanoo's life is a festival.

It is not a prominent shrine. However, I liked the scenery that looked up from under the stairs. He was just a good person.

A shrine in the mountains I visited the return path of Kiyamadera. The front of the hall was wide, and it was surprising that the person who came to worship stopped the car in front of the hall (; ° 0 °) I received a red stamp

Kiyama Shrine is one of the most famous shrines in Maniwa. You can feel the height of the shrine from the magnificent precincts. Many lanterns are displayed in the main shrine, and it has an atmosphere that makes you want to pray in it. There are cats in the shrine office, and there are also cat-derived picture horses and amulets.

We visited in Rantore in 2016 December 28. It is regrettable that the hall of worshipers is a shed. It is an old building, and the precincts are narrow to visit. Torii is the stone that was firmly.

I met Maneki Neko Ten-chan (3 years old), Komainu Hachi-kun, and Miyaji-san. Cook (9 years old), a model of votive tablet, is currently retired. Everyone was calm and the scenery of the shrine and the atmosphere matched and healed. It's a little suburb, so it feels good to be surrounded by green odors such as silence, bird calls and tall cedar trees. There is a parking lot. It is less than 10 minutes by car to Okumiya (Important Cultural Property). It seems that it is finally a mountain road to pass each other, and he recommended that I go on weekdays. It was founded in the Heian period. At the branch of Kyoto Gion Yasaka Shrine, the deity is Susano Onomikoto. A high-class shrine that was revered as a "prefectural shrine" from the Meiji era to the end of the war as the general god of the region during the time of Mimasaka Province. It is enshrined as Kiyama-gu Shrine along with the adjacent Kiyama-ji Temple, and is divided into Kiyama Shrine and Kiyama-ji Temple according to the Meiji gods and Buddha separation policy. (Excerpt from the information center) The appearance of history makes me feel the power spot, even though I have no inspiration. I received a bill and offered it to the Kamidana at home. It is a shrine with an atmosphere that makes you want to receive a prayer at this hall of worship someday. #Kiyama Shrine Maneki Neko Twitter is also popular !!

There were many cat figurines in the precincts. There is a real beckoning cat, Ten-chan, so I visited without knowing it, but Miyaji-san kindly searched for it, but it was cold that day, so he hid somewhere in the kotatsu and didn't come out ? I'm glad I didn't know it, but it was a beautiful shrine.
