Saoka Shrine - Nara

It is on a small hill along the way of history. There was a rest area with a nice view, and I also got a brochure on which the shrine was auspicious.

It was near Nara High School. I stopped by during the walk, but it was covered with deep green and the atmosphere was good. The stairs that are the approach to the shrine are raising expectations.

There is a shrine up the stairs, and a road is connected to the back of the shrine. The road behind the shrine is closed and you cannot leave. * There is nothing but abandoned construction machines. There is nothing in particular other than the hall of worship.

This is my Ujigami. I visited you on New Year's Day.

Ujigami of Saho no Sato at Shikinaisha. It is a shrine that has long been admired as a Tenjin of industry, a Tenjin of wisdom, and a Tenjin of disaster avoidance.

There are Kagamiike of Sahobime lore "What kind of person do the Sahobime" After Emperor Verta. Attempted after also hesitate to try to assassinate her husband to the brother (Sahobiko) aiming at the throne in accordance with the brother that "you and your husband and Jira is important or" being questioned to have been connected by blood or the like. And confessed the plan to Empress Emperor Hinno, her husband. Angry Emperor ... trimmed the army of Sahobiko subdue The beginning of the incident this is to be the "treason of Sha this 毗古" ※ By the way, my brother and sister corresponds to the cousin of Emperor Hitoshi

Located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. Settled in the west of Nara High School. At the end of the road extending north from Ichijo Kaido. There is a precinct when you go through the torii and climb the stairs. Behind the front shrine is the main shrine surrounded by a vermillion fence. The shrines of the precincts of the shrine are enshrined at the left and right sides of the fence. The whole hill is a sanctuary. According to the company's biography, in 716 of Reigame (Fujiwara), Fuwari Fujiwara and others defended the nation and set up on a hill at home to prosper. It is also called Sabooka Tenjin, and there is a theory that it enshrines Sugawara Michizane. Although it is a shrine of Shikinai-sha and Kishioka Shrine, the reason behind the shrine is that the expression of "Sahooka" is similar to "Kosooka". An area closely related to Mr. Otomo, as calling Otomo Anmaro Saho Dainagon. The festival god is the eight pillars of the Mikogami god, which was created between Hayamato god, the child of the Dainenshin god, and Tenchikanryu Mizubi god, and the atmosphere capital Hire god. The reason that the god of deities became Tenjin Hachiza is that he associated Himejin Saho with Wakasanamujin, and there is a theory that the true god is Himejin Saho. On the left side of the approach stairs, there is a depression called "Kamiike", which is called "Sahohime Historic Site Preservation Area", and it is said that he was begging for drought.

The approach that passes through the torii is sloped surrounded by trees, and the atmosphere changes. The stairs are very low and it is a little difficult to climb, but it is a short distance so you can enjoy the scent of the trees. When you reach it, it is on the side of the hall of worship, so if you go around a little, you will be in front of the hall of worship and the main hall. It is really nice and comfortable from the approach. There may be a priest, but I think that the people in the Saho area have a deep faith and value.
