Shihongi Inari Shrine - Kita City

The founding year is said to be in 1873. There is a relationship with the army. The priestess is unknown. Originally the place where there was an old burial mound. There are many trees and there is a unique atmosphere. I also want to pay attention to insects and cobwebs in summer.

It seems that it was directly managed by Shinto Taikyo from last year to this year. A filed description was added to the precincts, but it was soaked with condensation that it would be unreadable sooner or later. The information about Shihongi Inari is complicated, but it will be summarized as follows (the information in "" is the information that I personally investigated around 2018. It is different from our official explanation, but I investigated it with much effort. So leave it). " Those who have a small shrine in the precincts → "Originally, it was near the current Central Park, Ground Self-Defense Force Jujo Camp. It was enshrined by the residents of that area from Oji Inari, and was probably built around the Edo period." "After that, the Meiji government said," I'm going to build a weapons factory around here, so get out. " "For this reason, residents are forced to move to this area." "At that time, Shihongi Inari was also pulled to the current location." Those who have a large shrine in the precincts → "A shrine newly enshrined by the former Army people who expelled the above residents" "It wasn't when the weapons factory was built, but after the Russo-Japanese War, an explosion of gunpowder occurred, and I was afraid that I had destroyed the tumulus when the base was built!", So I built a shrine. Especially " "The small shrine that existed in the base (whether the above residents forgot to move it) will be rebuilt and made into Shihongi Inari." "After the war, I moved to my current location." I personally did a preliminary survey, but there were two small shrines in the area, and I was asked, "What? Is there another one?" 』\ According to the Yomotogi Inari Guardian Association, the last small shrine is said to have relocated Shimizu Inari, which was located at the current Oji Police Station, to the area. Also, recently, an iron nameplate was found at the time of the maintenance of the office, and the relationship with "Toyoshima's punishment per cedar" became clear. Another historic site is the loyalty monument. Inscription of Takeyuki in April 1918. The monument is half-moon shaped and unusual. According to the information board attached to the lantern near the entrance to the back approach, this is a diversion of the pressure wheel of a presser that grinds gunpowder. Originally it was circular, but it is said that 50% was placed on the pedestal, 40% on the tower body, and the remaining 10% on the southern end of the precincts away from the loyalty monument (the stone structure near the loyalty monument is It seems that it is different. Certainly, the method of scraping the surface is different from the loyalty monument.)

I can't deny the feeling of decay. In other words, it has a pretty atmosphere. At a level where you can feel something on a summer night. It is a place where you can definitely feel "something" when you go inside. I think that something is different for each person, but for some reason every year it is a place that makes me want to go in the summer.

Hidden power spot ⛩️ The parishioners are cleaning every day. I got "Ki" at the Shinboku on the left side of the main shrine ?

There is a monthly festival from 11:00 am on the 13th of every month. It will be held for about 30 minutes by two priests from the Shinto University Headquarters. In addition, there is a document called Yomotogi Inari in the worship hall that summarizes the historical background. I don't have a parishioner, but I am working on maintenance with local volunteers.

Shinto Archeology Shibongi Inari Shrine (former name) I got a paper with detailed information about the Yomotogi Inari Conservation Society. If you would like to know more details, please see the photos. In the old days, it was a place where trees were overgrown and it was dark during the day. Right now, it's well maintained and I can see the inside from the outside. It was a place I used to play when I was little.

It is a slightly unusual Inari shrine. There is a fox that is approaching by stroking it, so I stroked it. There is a red fox in the back, but there is no green raccoon ?
