Nyukawakami Shrine Honden - Yoshino District

Now under construction

There's a parking lot

You can comfortably hear the murmuring of the river. There was a feeling that the entire precincts were surrounded by negative ions.

Niukawakami Shrine has three shrines, "Kamisha," "Chusha," and "Shimosha," each of which has a different main deity. "Takaokami" is enshrined in the upper shrine, "Mizuhanome" is enshrined in the middle shrine, and "Kuraokami" is enshrined in the lower shrine. These three pillars are all "gods of water." Among them, "Takaokami" is also the main deity of Kibune Shrine in Kyoto. In addition, the third-generation grandson of the daughter of "Kuraokami" and the grandson of "Susanoo" will be "Okuninushi".

I looked up from the hall of worship, but I couldn't quite see what the main hall looked like. There is a staircase leading up to the main shrine in the back of the hall of worship, but it is kept out of reach. I think that is fine.

The festival god “Mizuna no megami” is a god that governs all water and is believed to be a god of water or rain. At that time, I prayed for the rain, and prayed for the protection of Mizugami. Thousands of years ago, forty years, Emperor Tenmu Emperor Hakuho 4th year (675) It was founded by the Theology of "Rain and Stop Rain (Long Rain)", and the reverence of the imperial court as the Meishin of Amushi and Mizujin Sosha was very special in the "Enjoy Ceremony" (927) Has been listed as one of the twenty-two companies as a god of prayer since the middle of the Heian period. It was an important shrine that was especially revered by the Imperial Court with a black horse for prayer rain and a white or red horse for rain. From 763 until the time of the Onin war, it can be seen how important the shrine was from the fact that it was recorded from the Imperial Court that it was raining from the imperial court and that the rain prayer was prayed 96 times. However, since the capital moved to Kyoto, such prayers were interrupted after the Sengoku period, and the Nyukawa Kamiameshi Shrine was sometimes called Arittsu Shrine, and even the location of Nyukawakami Shrine was finally unknown. After the Meiji Restoration, a research survey was conducted to find out where Nyu Kawakami Shrine was located. The shrines of Nisemura (Shimoichi) in Meiji 4 and then Kawakami Village in Meiji 2009 were regarded as prominent. It was made a lower company and an upper company. Aritsu Shrine is the Nyu Kawakami Shrine, and in the Taisho 11th year, it was listed as a government company by the elaborate research of Nara Yoshimori Moriguchi from Tomura as Nyu Kawakami Shrine Chusha. Although it became three companies, it is one company as Kanto Taisha Niukawakami Shrine. Therefore, the shrine office of this shrine was moved to our company, and the shrine and the upper company were overseen and the festival was held.However, due to the transition of the shrine system after the war, the shrine has become a separate shrine today. It is registered as “Nyu Kawakami Shrine”. The main shrine was built in 1829 in the Edo period, and is designated as a cultural asset of Higashiyoshino Village. The lantern in Mizugaki is designated as an important cultural asset of the country in 1264 in the Kamakura period. It has been. The main shrine of the main shrine is enshrined in the center with a goddess of the elephant (Mizuha Nomekami). As a shrine, Imai Namimei (Izanagi no Mikoto) in the east, and Iinami Mimei (Izanami only) in the west. That is). In the middle of the east hall (Ohirume whip thing) [Amaterasu Okami] To the east, Hida Betsumei [Emperor Ojin] [Emperor Ojin], To the west, eight will and life Has been talked about. In the center of the West Hall is Emperor Kaika and Otsutsu Otoko, Michimasa Sugawara and Watatsumi God in the east, and the great lord and lord gods in the west. As for the precincts, there is a shrine that is enshrined as a shrine Niu Shrine in Motomiyayama facing the river. In addition, in the north-west of Nishi-no-den, the fierce life is enshrined as the Suesha Kirei Shrine.

I am not a human being who can be evaluated in such a sacred place. Anyway, a quiet and relaxing place. If you walk a little and cross the suspension bridge, a small waterfall is enshrined. After visiting the main shrine, it is recommended to take a walk around the area.
