The origin is ... About 800 years ago, in the fall of 1214, the princess of Emperor Juntoku fell ill after a suspicious glowing object flew into the palace at night. Saburo Honma, a military commander, was ordered by the emperor to shoot down the monster with a bow. Every night, after struggling with the monster, Hayato Ban (a vassal of Saburo Honma Shigemitsu), who was a master of bows, succeeded in shooting down the monster. If you look closely at what you shot down, the skeleton was a wild fox. Saburo Honma sent the remains of a wild fox to Sugou Township in Mikawa Province, which was the territory of Shigemitsu Honma, collected the soil of famous mountains in more than 60 provinces all over Japan, built a lion-shaped temporary mountain, and looked at that side in the direction of Miyanaka. No, I held a festival at Inari Shrine to comfort the spirit of the wild fox. Then, strangely, the princess's illness healed and she was completely rejuvenated. The emperor was very pleased and built a nun temple called Mizuoyama Somotsuama Temple on the side of Inari Shrine, and the princess herself became a nun and entered this temple. Then, on August 23, 1217, as a ward off the demon gate of this Somotsuama Temple, the bowstring that shot down that wild fox was used as a god, and the ancestor of Saburo Honma Shigemitsu, "Michiomi no Mikoto" Solicit and build Tenjinsha. This was the founding of Akasaki Tenmangu, and at that time it was called Ban Tenjin or Yugen Tenjin. Time passed, and in 1690, Shinsuke Sugawara, another profession of Edo Kameido Tenjin, held a statue of Sugawara no Michizane, and on the way from Dazaifu to Edo, he had a dream when he stayed at Okazaki Honjin Nakane Jinemon. saw. Sugawara no Michizane stood at the bedside, and his dream was, "There is a better company (Yumigen Tenjin) in this land of Okazaki. Please solicit me there." The people in the town who heard this story were very impressed, renewed the shrine of Tenjin Shrine, enshrined the statue of Sugawara no Michizane, and celebrated Tenjin-sama as the god dream. And the company name was changed to Okazaki Tenmangu, and it seems that it has reached the present.

I had been to Iwazu Tenmangu, but I couldn't go to Okazaki Tenmangu yet, so I visited for the first time today. Perhaps because it was a weekday, it wasn't very popular, and no one came out even if I pressed the doorbell, so when I tried to go home, he called a woman who was cleaning the precincts or a shrine from somewhere. In addition to the standard red stamp, there are monthly and yearly red stamps.
