諏訪大社下社秋宮 幣拝殿(国指定重要文化財)

Two years have passed, and Hatsumode is the top class in Nagano prefecture. It reigns at the highest position in a shrine in Nagano prefecture. A historic shrine. The spread of Suwa Shrine is the largest in Japan. This shrine is famous for worshiping people. It is said that the Omiwatari, which is seen in Lake Suwa during the harsh cold season, fortuned the harvest of rice. In recent years, diversions have become less common. I've heard from the locals that tanks were practicing at Lake Suwa during the war. The coldest basin in Nagano Prefecture. I heard that cultivation was very difficult. Utilizing the rich water of Lake Suwa for the Meiji Restoration, a silk mill competes and advances. An oriental silk mill was born. After the war, with the fall of raw silk, the silk mill changed to the precision machinery industry or the miso shop. I heard that Shinshu Miso has spread the sales of Miso to Tokyo using the silk spinning warehouse and the help of the Suwa warehouse to help Miso who hired a female worker. Hattori Seiko, Epson is born here. Suwa Taisha is loved by Suwa people.

It looks the same as Harumiya.

I feel that Suwa Taisha Shrine and the shrine are shrines that value "balance of pairs". Kamiyashiro and Shimosha are paired, with Honmiya and Maemiya at Kamiyashiro and Harumiya and Akimiya at Shimosha. And the worship hall has a structure that connects the left and right one worship hall. In this way, the balance between the top, bottom, left, and right is the layout and structure of the shrine building. As for the hall of worship, it seems that the role of the hall of worship as the key to integrating the two is becoming more important. A round mirror is enshrined in the center of the first floor of the worship hall. Looking at the placement and decoration, it seems to be extremely important. It is said that "Masumi no Kagami" is enshrined in Kamiyashiro as a sacred treasure, so it may be that a similar sacred treasure (imitation for exhibition) is enshrined in Shimosha Akimiya. A pair of left and right treasure halls are lined up in the back of the coin worship hall. Chigi is placed on both ends of the thatched roof. The shrine is located in the center of the shrine and has a double tower gate. A tower gate with no roof on the first floor and a roof only on the second floor is called a double tower gate. It is a simple and sturdy structure. The tower gate with the Karahafu in front of it is narrow, but I think it is a simple structure to play a key role in connecting the left and right one-sided worship halls and not to give a redundant impression.

It is the hall of worship of Suwa Taisha Shrine Akimiya. It's designed to be paired with Harumiya, but it seems that this one has a higher evaluation. It has become a plastic model. Why don't you visit and appreciate the splendor of the building at the same time? The deity of the festival is said to be Takenakakatakami and Yasakatomekami. It is a worship hall with a double-storied gate and is designated as an important cultural property of the country. The building can be seen in the back of the worship hall, but it is not the main hall but the treasure hall. The inner shrine (first-ranked tree) is enshrined as a sacred body without the main shrine. I think it's a good example of ancient nature beliefs. There are also famous pillars on the left and right of the shrine, so it is also popular as a photo spot.

It ’s a wonderful hall of worship.

I stopped by on the way back from ❗. It's a solemn and ancient shrine ⛩️. The parking lot ?️? is wide and the road in front of the approach is wide, there are no utility poles on the left and right, and exposed electric wires are buried, so the road is [Zenkoji] in . ] There is a solemn shape and atmosphere like the approach ??. If you are a young person, it seems that you will end up mistakenly thinking that it is a new city ❗. After passing through the big torii gate ⛩️, you can see the Kagura-den in front of you, but you went straight to the main shrine without stopping! ️??. There are chrysanthemum fairs on the left and right in front of the main shrine. Beautifully grown chrysanthemums are lined up. Returning to a distant parking lot ↩️ On the way, Sazareishi was brought in from another place and stood on the edge of the precincts. When I read the explanation, Chiyo and Yachiyo were struck by the strictness of the stone. It's made ... It was written about the Sazareishi that you came up with in the National Anthem of Japan. I saw this stone for the first time, and it was certainly a learning experience because I had never seen it until this year. When I left the shrine ⛩️ and walked to buy souvenirs, there was a small new ? shop that sells delicious hand-baked rice crackers, and they baked rice crackers for eating in front of me! ️??. Thanks to you, I was able to buy a bag of small rice crackers with sesame seeds and seaweed, and 6 bags of other types, and I was able to listen to my husband's rice cracker storage, so my wife is also convinced. I wonder if it's okay because I was doing it ⁉️?. From there, I headed to the main shrine and visited. It was a pleasant, god-dwelling [Akimiya].

There was a shimenawa with the same shape as the local Izumo Taisha shrine, and there was also a Kagura hall, so it was a little nostalgic scenery.
