Niiyama Shrine - Higashimatsushima

I went there for the first time, but it's a quiet and mysterious place. You can climb the stairs without steepness.

Saturday, October 13, 2018 I arrived here looking for a shrine to heal my illness A magnificent giant cedar tree is a proof of a power spot My heart was washed Niiyama Shrine's Sugi Estimated tree age tradition 1100 years

A lot of pictures of Blue Impulse were displayed at the office. I received a stamp from a young priest.

This shrine is characterized by a torii fence ring and long stone steps. The god of the festival is the lord of the 5th Emperor Samurai. When he was killed in the second year of the Heian period (807) by his imperial brother Iyo, he was able to escape from Kyoto and reach Ono Hongo Iwasaki. After the death of the inner king, he called him the cereal god. In 2008, it was burned down by a company fire, but was reconstructed the following year. There is a red stamp. However, it is advisable to contact the priestess in advance because they are expected to be away from home.

The cherry blossoms along the road are beautiful and I stopped by. It has a historical atmosphere, but the building seems to have been relatively recently constructed.

Despite living a turbulent life, the shrine god is the fifth princess (Oyauchi prince) of Emperor Kammu (reigned 781 to 806), who became a guardian god while touching the kindness of the people here. There are only a few shrines dedicated to Uchi-Oh-Oh, and the shrine is a 16-leaf chrysanthemum flower crest derived from the imperial family. The Uchinomiya (Himemiya) and his brother, who escaped from the Heian-kyo political struggle, were worried about escaping on the way, but only Himemiya arrived here. We went to Okubo, Shioiri, Yamoto, etc., and asked the owner of Onomura for accommodation. My body shines mysteriously when I go to sleep with a door plate on the mortar. The master immediately appealed to the priest and prepared the museum. Himemiya was so pleased, ending her short life, longing for her brother. Onomiya continues to search for his sister and visits the land, but learns that he is already in heaven and decides to go home. It is reported that he opened the current Jundongin. Afterwards, the master of Onomura was told that the Himemiya flew to Mount Okubo and sat there. When the lord goes to see, the top of the big tree is shining brilliantly. Himemiya came to be enshrined in this land of large trees as Niiyama Daigongen. In the long history, reconstruction and repair of the shrine have been ongoing with the cooperation of the people. In the latter half of the Heian period, in the role of the latter three years, Gongoro Kamakura and Masamasu Hirakei praised for their valor pray for victory. He won a brilliant victory, rebuilt the shrine building in 1091, and donated the territory. In the repair of Keian 5 (1652), lumber was dropped from Date Tadamune, the second lord of the Sendai clan. When the shrine burned down due to a fire in 2016, it was rebuilt as early as the following year due to local religion. (From the precinct information version) The god of the festival: Oyanai's prince End company: Akiba company, Atago company Regular holidays: April 17 (spring), October 17 and 18 (autumn)

Every year, we have you pray at the beginning of the year. Since there are people at the upper office on the third day, you can pray for prayers without reservation. However, the stairs freeze in winter, so it is recommended to pray and pray at the office below. There is also a talisman for pets.
