生島神社 - Amagasaki

I thought of a shrine loved by the locals

For the first time, I visited there, but it was a relaxing space because I was called Ujigami. It was a very quiet shrine that didn't feel like coming for the first time.

This is the local Ujigami. It's behind the Tachibana Elementary School I used to go to, and when I was little I was looking forward to the festival stalls.

It is a popular shrine in the local area. Long lines are not uncommon during the New Year. It is lively and seems to be profitable.

About 14 minutes on foot from Tachibana Station on the JR Kobe Line, Ikushima Shrine, a beautiful shrine with a nice vermilion contrast, is enshrined. Although it is compact, it has a nice atmosphere.

Happy new year. I look forward to working with you this year as well. The other day, I went to the Ikushima Shrine ⛩️ in Kuriyama-cho, Amagasaki City for the first time on New Year's Day. Like every year, they line up around the road outside the precincts. As was the case on this day, worshipers ? lined up to the main shrine about 70 to 80 meters. When I entered the precincts, there was a beautiful vermilion main shrine in front of me, and on the left side of the worship, the annual Fukuhi ? was burning. "The New Year's Eve is an important event to cleanse the sins of half a year and welcome the new year. At Ikushima Shrine, a fortune fire ? is burned in the precincts from New Year's Eve to the New Year, and this fortune fire ? It seems that he hopes to spend a year without any illness. "Then, I visited the main shrine-Ikushima Bentaiten-Traffic Shrine. People ? cherish the local Ujigami, always visit the shrine every New Year, and make a wish to visit this Ikushima Shrine ⛩️ for the year. ?

Around the same time, it is said that the monk Sumiumi dedicated the Daihanwakkei to "Ikushima Daimeijin." This is the first look in the literature.

Second torii gate and hall of worship  Main shrine  Appearance Weeping cherry blossoms are donated and planted in front of the hall of worship. The cherry blossoms in Ukon and Sakon, I feel like the name of the "Tachibana" area is crying. I only walk one road from JR Tachibana station, but I can't feel the difference between the place name of Tachibana and other areas. At the very least, if even one tachibana tree was planted at Ikushima Shrine, I would have somehow felt better. Nevertheless, it can be said that the existence of Ikushima Shrine speaks of the place name of Tachibana. Ikutama Omikami and Sakikuni Tamashii Omikami are visiting gods from the land of the eternal world. The vermilion-painted main shrine is buried in trees and bamboo bushes, making it difficult to see, but it is divine.
