Mio Shrine - Otsu

The road is a little complicated. It's easy to find a parking lot, but worshipers are a little confused about where to park because of the contracted car space. The rabbit is cute.

Mio Shrine where you can get a wonderful red stamp on Usagi Day. People with bad legs may be able to go from the Mitsui-ji side, but block at the tollhouse. Clearing the stairs is essential. Next time, I would like you to have a red stamp as the year of the rabbit.

It is a guardian shrine of Mitsui-ji Temple and is famous as a guardian deity born in the year of the Rabbit. A long time ago, Izanagi, who wore three bands of red, white, and black on the summit of Mt. It seems that the name Mio Myojin has taken root because the band of the book looked like a tail. When there are three belts, they appear as different gods, and the red belt (Akao god) appears from the direction of the rabbit, the year of the rabbit, the moon of the rabbit, the day of the rabbit, the time of the rabbit, and the direction of the rabbit. It seems that it appeared in Kotoya. After that, Shiraobi-sama (Shirao-jin) descended to the current site of Mio Shrine during the Taiho era, and after a while, Kurobi-sama (Kuroo-jin) descended to a place called Kaseki during the Jingo-keiun era. .. It seems that the reason why Mio Myojin came to be enshrined as a guardian god born in the year of the Rabbit is due to the advent of the red belt. The current shrine was rebuilt by Yoshimochi Ashikaga in 1426, and it is said that the shrine was restored by Hideyoshi Toyotomi during the Keicho era. It is said that the shrine has been in the land of the red belt since its foundation, but when the gods and Buddha were separated in the Meiji era, it was relocated to the present location.

I wanted to buy a rabbit lottery at that time, but no one was there when I rang the bell and knocked on the door. It can only be said that fate has not arrived yet, but I like Sanwei Shrine very much.

I visited the shrine with a couple of friends (two children) for the first time. I used to drive in front of the shrine, but I couldn't find the parking lot, so I visited for the first time on foot. From the big rabbit votive tablet in front of the shrine, there is a rabbit (stone statue) in the precincts, and my face smiles unintentionally (laughs). After the pilgrimage, when the children of a friend and a couple visited the office to draw a fortune, the shrine maiden politely explained the fortune and responded politely to my request for a red stamp. I was very impressed ♪ It's a company I would like to visit again someday ♪
