Misayamasha - Suwa District

The shrine itself is refreshing and spacious, and it is a place where you can feel the sacred atmosphere that is very refreshing. However, a woman in the prefabricated building in the foreground yelled at me to death, and I haven't been able to go to the shrine ever since, which is a shame.

A shrine with an old history. Originally, it was near the Yajimagahara wetlands of Kirigamine. There is little popularity and it is perfect to take a quiet walk by yourself.

This is the place where the Misayama Mikari Shinto ritual of the upper shrine is held. When I got off the highway, turned the side road and climbed the approach road, I thought it was strange because it felt like going down a little at the end and descending to the depression, but until the Middle Ages, the direction of Yatsugatake, which is the back side of the present, was Omotesando. To that effect. It can be seen from the explanation on the signboard that the site was more than double the size. Nowadays, the surrounding area has been reclaimed and cultivated, but since the Mikari Shinto ritual is held, was it a wilderness with dense forests in ancient times? I went early in the morning, but it was a sacred place where the morning sun was shining like a spotlight in the center of an empty sanctuary and the air was different. A clear stream is also flowing beside it.

In other comments, Motomiya is Yashima Marsh, but the lower company and the upper company are paired, so it is a little different. Details are explained in the “Yatsugatake Harajin” blog, but to be exact, Fujimi's Mikamiyamasha seems to come from the Irigasa Marshland faith. So it may be appropriate that Motomiya is in Irukasa.

Suwa Taisha There is a Hoya that attends the Mikari Shinto ritual at Setsumatsusha. It sits in a very quiet forest. It is said that it is "Misayamasha" written as Misayama Shrine ^ ^ If you visit from the site of the old approach, the left side of the village forest is the area where you competed for the technique with the bow and arrow, and there is a torii gate. If you go to the left along the Yaba, the small shrine of Nishinomiya Shrine will calm down. Going through the torii gate, you will see the former Suwa Mitsuji Sumo Dohyo (Dohyo) on the right side, and soon the hall of worship will be on your left. The hall of worship is a shrine, and the two main halls of Kuninotokotachi and Mitsuyamasha are settled (people). The deity is Kuninotokotachi and Takeminakata ... In addition, Takashi Omi and Princess Takashinuma are also enshrined. There is a shrine surrounded by about 6 on the opposite side of the shroud, but this position is very clean. I thought that the big basin called Chozubachi was a wonderful kind of Banza ^ ^ To the right of Misayama Shrine's cover is the Kagura Hall, which has only pillars on the roof. The Chozubachi is on the left side and the Hoya is on the right side across the Chozubachi. The floor of Hoya is also raised except for Shinto rituals. In front of Hoya, there is the first grand celebration mausoleum, Empress Jingu, Koyasu, Isonami, Daigoshiko, and Miwasha on the far right. Asama Shrine is located on the paved road from Chozubachi. If you visit Mt. Asama, you will be worshiping Mt. Fuji ^ ^ It is a sanctuary where very good Ki gathers.
