Makino Shrine - Tone District

I found it on the way. I was bitten by a mosquito for the benefit of God.

In the Makino Shrine, the Tone River flows in the west of the westmost center of Minakami Town Shimomaki, and the west side of the Tone River is Minakami Town Tsukiyano. To the east of the shrine is the Kanetsu Expressway Shimomaki PA, and to the east of the Kanetsu Expressway is a mountain forest. The river flowing next to the shrine is poured into the Tone river, and the "Kamisuwashi" of a vermilion balustrade is erected on the river, creating an atmosphere like a bridge in front of the shrine. Makino Shrine and Inari Shrine are built side by side in front of the "Kamisubashi". The shrine is not so high, but you can see the area around Yasebashi on prefectural road No. 271, which crosses the Tone River a little away from the front of the shrine. The Makino Shrine is built on two-story Ishigaki, and the next Inari Shrine is built on the ground of the embankment and stones to the first level of Ishigaki. I don't know which one was built first, Makino Shrine or Inari Shrine, but the trees around Inari Shrine that look like an embankment stand normally, so use the terrain to pile another stone wall higher, Maybe you have built a Makino Shrine. The five-story pagoda of Kanbun 10 years (1670) is built on the left and right on Ishigaki of the first floor of the Makino Shrine. This five-story pagoda is a unique pagoda found in the northern end of the Kanto Plain, in the mountain foot area from Nikko Tochigi to the Tone area in Gunma, in the first half of the Edo period, when the Shinto faith spread among ordinary people. The figures of monkeys facing each other with both hands on the bottom layer are engraved. It is thought that it is a figure that depicts the figure that shows deep reverence to the gods and buds, with the combined hands fried on top or with the offering of pearls and peaches. The multi-tiered tower has long been widely used as a memorial tower since the Nara period, and is also used today as a decoration for gardens, but the multi-tiered tower built for the purpose of offering sacred treasures is a valuable thing that can only be found in northern Gunma is.
