Shiogama Shrine - Sakaide

It is the history of Sakaide.

It is an ancient salt god. However, the parking lot is not paved.

In the place that seems to be a parking lot facing the road, chains were stretched around and I could not enter. I had no choice but to go up a certain road called Urasando and I came to the open space in front of the office. I could park several cars, so I stopped there and visited the shrine.

I didn't understand the parking lot, so I parked it in a distant place and walked for about 10 minutes ? The cherry blossoms were in full bloom ? From the shrine, I could see the Seto Inland Sea, the scenery was very good, and the birds squealed, which made me feel good (* ˊᵕˋ *).

Osaijin, Watatsumi God Former Sakaide Machimura Shrine Hachiman Shrine Outer Border Shrine On August 1, 1828, Kume Michikata was solicited from Shiogama Shrine in Miyagi Prefecture to pray for the safety and prosperity of the salt farms in Sakaide, at the behest of Matsudaira Yorihiro. I went to Sai. In the 8th year of Tenpo (1837), it was relocated to the land of Myojincho (currently Sakaide Municipal Hospital). The main shrine was renovated in 1868. In 1933, the precincts were improved and a statue of Kume Michikata was erected in a corner in the southeast. (The statue was donated by the government during the Pacific War, and the statue of Kume Michikata, who is currently standing in Tokiwa-cho, is the second generation.) Our company was a lord of the Matsudaira clan, and until the second year of the Meiji era, he was in charge of the construction of the shrine and everything else in the Matsudaira clan. (Bane dedicates Matsudaira Yorihiro, lion head and spear five swings dedicate Matsudaira Yorihiro, etc.) After the Pacific War, we were evacuated due to the widening work of the old national highway No. 11 (currently prefectural highway No. 33), and in October 1959, we relocated to the middle of Shotsujiyama, our current location, together with Sakaide Shrine, the end of the precincts. The precincts were cleaned and I was able to pray comfortably, but there is no place to park my car. There is a large open space just below, but the chains cannot be put in. Isn't it something that can't be done? There is also a statue of Kume Michikata in the northern corner of the open space, but the grass is terrible. I wonder if this can be done somehow! It is a pity that he has contributed to the development of Sakaide City today.
