Niukawakami Lower Shrine - Yoshino District

I heard that there is a shrine dedicated to Japan's oldest water god. Here you can get the ancient famous water "Water of Life". There are some tips on how to draw, so let's ask them to tell you when you get a talisman or a red stamp at the office. I asked the lady at the shrine office why the Niukawakami Shrine is divided into three parts, but it seems that there is no particular hierarchical relationship. Is it in order of altitude? There is a parking lot and a clean public toilet. If you want to see the world heritage site "Mt. Omine", it's a waste not to stop here.

I came to Niukawakami Shrine (bottom, middle, top), but the shrine is quietly enshrined. It's small, but I feel a certain history and dignity. If you collect three amulets from the three companies, you will be asked to make an arrow, and you will receive a commemorative tag and the priest will read out one wish. Since the three companies are far apart, it will be a short trip, but you will not feel tired while driving while looking at the scenery rich in nature. It is highly recommended to visit the three companies.

One of the essays of the Shikinai-sha listed in the section of Yoshino-gun, Yamato Province in the Enki-shiki Shinmeicho. It is a famous Shinto shrine that sits in a slightly open place where the Nyukawa bends loosely, and is one of the 22 companies in the ceremony. And it is a troupe of the 85 seats of the prayer rain god festival, and has a long history of being revered as a god who controls one of the water sources of Yamato Province from ancient times. The god of ritual is the god of darkness. According to the company's biography, it was founded in 676 during the reign of Emperor Tenmu. Currently, there are three Shinto shrines, Niukawakami Shrine, Chusha, and our company, but the Niukawakami Shrine is a troupe in the Enki-shiki Shinto shrine, and it is unknown which shrine it refers to. Even the shrines that have been highly revered by the Nara period, the Heian period, and the imperial court at the Meishin Taisha Shrine have lost their history since the Onin War. In the Meiji era, it was initially said that our company was Niukawakami Shrine, but after that, there was an opinion that Kamiyashiro should be a Shikinai shrine, and once Kamiyashiro was made our Okumiya. However, there was an objection to that, and we decided to make the lower company and the upper company the upper company. After that, there was a claim from the Aritsu Shrine in Higashiyoshino Village that the river flowing in front of the shrine was the ancient Nyu River, and the Aritsu Shrine became a middle shrine. Along with this, the deities of rituals were also organized. In other words, our company was changed from Takanogami to Mizuhanome, the upper shrine was changed from Mizuhanome to Takanogami, and the middle shrine was changed to Mizuhanome. However, regardless of such complicated circumstances, Niukawakami Shrine is a wonderful shrine full of godliness.

Niukawakami Shrine A shrine that is paired with the upper shrine. Kamiyashiro's Takano Okami is a dragon god on the mountain. In this lower shrine, the wolf god (Kuraokami no Okami) is a dragon god at the bottom of the valley or in the valley. From the name and the place where you live, it seems a little ... but the dragon god who controls the oldest water in Japan. God rides on a horse and comes from the world of God to the world of humans. It is said that. I tried to dedicate a black-haired horse for prayer rain during the rain and a white-haired horse for the rain stop during the long rain to have God deliver my wishes. It is still difficult to dedicate horses in one village or individual if it is done as a national government, so dedicate horses made of soil, paper and boards. The beginning of votive tablets began to dedicate a picture of a horse on a board. Whether the zodiac of the year is drawn, the character is drawn, or the board is in the shape of ❤️, the votive tablet. At the shrine, Shinme, which was dedicated to the nationwide recovery from flood damage in 2011, is carefully raised. The moment I tried to take a picture, a flood occurred.

I was finally able to call you and pray. This time as well, the morning pilgrimage strongly feels God. The dignified air in the precincts, the gentle feeling from the hall of worship, the main hall and the corridor leading to it rise like a waterfall, and the Oki of the Shinboku is a masterpiece, a palace overwhelmed by everything. I was very glad to hear from the people who took care of Shinme from early morning. When I received the red stamp, I was grateful to all of them for coming to Mikamimizu.
