Sakato Shrine - Kashima

It was in the middle of Ibaraki Health Road. It is with Kajima's three major companies since the 8th century. The walking road was the walking road, so I walked while placing an emphasis on ancient times.

This is the outside shrine of Kashima Jingu. I came after visiting Kashima Jingu and visiting another Numao Shrine. Although it is an uninhabited shrine, I felt a sense of cleanliness because it was seated in a forest. The main hall is ruined, but very old was left behind.

The old road leading up to here has a great impact. There were some ordinary paved roads, but if you refer to the red arrow, you will see them on the road that makes you uneasy. The sense of accomplishment that arrived and the mystery that drifts while being simple are wonderful.

The deity is Ame-no-koro. Amaterasu Omikami chanted congratulatory words in front of the hidden heavenly Iwato, accompanied the advent of Tenson Korin, and became the ancestor of Mr. Nakatomi (Fujiwara). Currently, it is an out-of-bounds shrine of Kashima Jingu, but in the Hitachikoku Fudoki, "Kashima's heavenly god" descends from Takatenbara, and Kashima's (Kashima) heavenly god is the heavenly god's shrine (currently Kashima Jingu) ) ・ Sakado no Shrine (Sakato Shrine of the Outer Precincts) ・ Numao no Shrine (Numao Shrine of the Outer Precincts) is an old shrine from the gods. Access is difficult to understand on Google Maps, but if you follow the small path that passes through the south side, you will find the shrine in the torii gate and the guardian forest behind it. The truth about why Numao Shrine was the "Heavenly God of Kashima" lined up at Kashima Jingu has disappeared in the darkness beyond history, but there is always something. I thought so in the deep and quiet sanctuary.

The deity is Ame-no-koro Although its founding is unknown, it is one of the three heavenly gods of Kashima, which is recorded in the Hitachikoku Fudoki. As soon as you dive into the torii gate and enter the precincts, you will feel like you are in the depths of the forest even though there is a shrine.

Kashima Jingu Shrine. It is an old shrine that has a description in the Hitachikoku Fudoki that "the shrine of the heavenly god, the shrine of Sakado, the shrine of Numao, and the three places are all called the heavenly god of Kashima." This is a special shrine for Kashima Jingu Shrine, which has Setsumatsusha / Numao Shrine and our company's Harukasho. According to the company's biography, Kashima and Katori's Okami landed from Akashi Beach (where Ichino Torii is located facing the Pacific Ocean), and Futsunushi Okami went to the land of Katori on the opposite bank where you can see from Numao. It is said that Takemikazuchi Okami was moved from Numao to the present Kashima Jingu Shrine. This land of Sakado does not appear in the founding theory, but the reason why it is important for Kashima Jingu Shrine is that it enshrines Ame-no-Komei, the ancestor of Oonakaomi Shinmon Katsumi, which is described in the Hitachikoku Fudoki. Therefore, I personally think that Mr. Nakatomi, who has performed the rituals of Kashima Jingu Shrine, was regarded as important as a worship of the ancestral god, but I think so. However, Kashima Jingu Shrine was originally made up of three shrines, Kashima Jingu Shrine, Sakado, and Numao, as stated in the Hitachi Kokudo Fudoki. There are various theories such as the theory that it is a university student shrine. However, in any case, I don't think the origin of Kashimadaijin is the current location of Kashima Jingu Shrine. In addition, there is a different theory about our deity, and there is also a theory that it is Sakado Bikomei, the ancestor of the Nakutabe Ren. In 1986, it was designated as one of the constituent historic sites of the nationally designated historic site "Kashima Jingu Shrine Precincts Attached County House Ruins". The Hitachikoku Fudoki is the only one in the eastern country that is incomplete but remains, and is a valuable thing that shows the state of the Nara period.
