Shimonomiya - Utsunomiya

What surprised me was the pillars of the shrine. Examining various things, it seems that it was built with concrete when it was rebuilt at the current location by redevelopment after 1995.

Futarasan Shrine is a shrine, but it is said that this is the place where Futarasan Shrine was first enshrined.

Shimotsuke Kuniichinomiya It's the navel of Utsunomiya, a wonderful place to sit in Utsunomiya.

On the annual festival of Utsunomiya Futarayama Shrine, there is a Winter Festival on December 15 (Shogo Shrine) on January 15, Fringe Festival (Shikisago). I will introduce a research paper that mentioned the origin of the thesis that referred to the priest. ("Otaya" Nikko Shinto shrine moved to Tokujiro from inside of mountain is to be transferred to Utsunomiya Meigami some time.The "lower temple" which is enshrined as the current Utsunomiya Futariyama shrine's department store Tagawa who flowed down by Tokujiro Meijin on a hill which was once called Ara Ozaki was hoped for in the eyes of Ara Ozaki Shinto shrines that transfer the deity are the skill of deceasing The evening of 14th December Tokujiro's child While walking around the road to Utsunomiya repeatedly shouting, "Dragon, Dragon," and the female children of Utsunomiya Meijin also summed up to the voice of "Oja no tanba" on 15th "Otaya" is said to have turned "Dangerous" and calls "Otaya" written as "Winter Festival" "Harutora Festival".

Utsunomiya Narayama Shrine's lower shrine, palace, former shrine site. It is located in front of Utsunomiya PARCO and event space, and unlike the headquarters, it is in a lively place. The atmosphere is in the opposite place from the head office, but it's quite a small company that has a space for young people like this, and I think that you can feel a tradition here and there. Approximately 25 minutes walk from JR Utsunomiya station, 5 minutes walk from Tobu Utsunomiya station. There is no parking lot.

Futarasan Shrine Setsusha Shimonomiya. The deity is Prince Toyokiirihiko. It is said that Futarasan Shrine was built, but the current Shimonomiya was relocated and maintained in 1995.

A shrine on the main street in front of Utsunomiya Station It is a beautiful shrine full of freshness that is directly opposite the front of the Nitoriyama Shrine Otorii, and the neighbor has a police box Origins and history can be honest to me, as much as I like watching The texture and shape of the torii were good that's all

It is a venerable old shrine that sits in the original location of the current Futarasan Shrine. In the old days, the ridge continued to the south from the current Futarasan Shrine, and the area around Parco was exciting. "Ikebego Araozaki" was also known as "Koderamine". Kagamigaike was spreading to the northwest. The time when Utsunomiya Shrine was built is estimated according to the theory that (1) Prince Toyokiirihiko, the main deity of the prince of Emperor Sujin, solicited the main shrine of Oomiwa Shrine (Mt. Miwa) in Yamato (Nara Prefecture). About 2000 years ago, (2) According to the founding theory by Nara Betsuo of Shimono Kunizo, a descendant of Prince Toyokiirihiko, it was built in the Kofun period about 1600 years ago. In the 5th year of Jōwa (838), the current Niarayama Shrine was relocated to "Usugamine" in Kitamine and called "Utsunomiya Daimeijin". As a result, "Usugamine" came to be called "Mt. Myojin". This place of origin was left as "Shimonomiya", and it was on the right side of the approach to Utsunomiya Shrine, north of Myojin Baba, but there are two Masazumi Honda who became the lord of Utsunomiya. A boulevard was created in the east and west by cutting through the mine. Masazumi, who became the lord of the Utsunomiya domain in 1919, was dismissed in the "fishing ceiling incident" that planned to assassinate Shogun Hidetada in 1622. It seems that it was. In other words, the main street was built around 1620. In the city planning of 1961, ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, Koderamine, which was a small hill that remained, was cut flat and a small shrine was newly built. Due to urban redevelopment in 1995, the current main shrine was rebuilt and the worship hall was newly built on the west side of Parco.
