Numao Shrine - Kashima

It is a very sacred and lovely old shrine.

"The combination of the company of Heavenly God, the company of Sakado, the company of Numao, and all three, it is called the Heavenly God of Kashima"

I would love to visit you next time. Thank you very much.

I got lost near the ground of Kashima Gakuen. I put it in when I make a detour near the temple. Since it is a narrow road, a light car may be a good choice. I feel the breath of the forest.

In the precincts of Numao Shrine, there is a rich forest of laurel trees such as Sudajii and Tabinoki. And when you enter the forest, you feel the spirit of trembling your back. When I looked up, I could see the “Forest Constellation” woven between the laurel trees.

The deity is Futsunushi. Quoting the history from the explanation board, "Numao Shrine is a Setsumatsusha of Kashima Jingu, and it is an old shrine described in the" Hitachi Kokudo Fudoki "edited in the Nara period. The deity is the same Futsunushi as Katori Jingu, which is closely related to Kashima Jingu, and it is said that the forest of Katori Jingu could be seen from behind the main shrine. The main shrine was built in the Genna period (1615-1623) with a copper plate thatched roof and Ichimasha style. It has been rebuilt. The worship hall still retains the old appearance of the gabled structure. In "Fudoki", it is stated that "... the heavenly shrine, Sakado shrine, Numao shrine, and three places are collectively called the heavenly god of Kashima. Therefore, it is named as a county." ， It is designated as a historic site as an important archaeological site in academic history. " After the transfer of the country of Izumo, Takemikazuchi and Futsunushi, who landed from Akashi Beach, where Ichino Torii is located east of Kashima Jingu, first came to Numao Shrine, and Takemikazuchi was Kashima (Heavenly Great Shrine). )What. It is said that Futsunushi moved to the land of Katori (now Katori Jingu, which is the opposite bank of the inland sea seen from Numao) on the opposite bank of the sea of ​​Katori (Kasumigaura) seen from this place. It seems that you could see the forest of Katori Jingu from behind the shrine. Access is difficult to understand on Google Maps, but from the east, go straight through the diameter of the gravel and into the deep guardian forest. There was a clean and divine sanctuary here. There is no shortage of "Kashima's heavenly gods" lined up at Kashima Jingu.

The deity is Futsunushi Ogami One company that is said to be "the heavenly god of heaven, Sakado, Numao, and the three places together to be called the heavenly god of Kashima" in the Hitachikoku Fudoki. The main shrine was built during the Genna period (1615-1623), destroyed in the 10s of the Showa era, and then rebuilt. If you follow the Google map, is it the entrance to the back approach? You will be guided to a place like this, from which you will arrive by walking along the mountain road for about 5 to 10 minutes. There is no fork in the road and you will not get lost. The warm atmosphere in the precincts is very good, and I was very healed when I stayed in the precincts for a while after repeating deep breathing. It may be good to worship when you are depressed.
