Shishojinja Shrine - Toyooka

A shrine along Yunosato Street, next to the Imperial Palace hot spring. We enshrine the four gods of the Yuzan lord of the hot spring guardian deity and the three goddess Munakata, the guardian deity of water. The main shrine was destroyed by the Kita Tajima earthquake in the Taisho era and was rebuilt. Since it was during the Bon Festival, there seemed to be a festival at night.

A shrine that is said to have been built in the first year of Wado, just before the beginning of the Nara period. It seems that it was earlier than the hot spring temple.

When it gets dark, the streetlights and lanterns light up to give the streets of the hot spring town a more tasteful atmosphere. During the daytime, local children hide and seek, and it is a wonderful shrine that looks modest.

I saw it while taking a walk on a day trip to Kinosaki, and thought that it was a shrine with a wonderful atmosphere. I checked it later and found that it was a very venerable company, but it was good to be able to worship. It is said that it was built in the first year of Dendo, but I can't imagine the scenery 1,300 years ago.

"Toyooka: Yonsho Shrine (Yushima-cho, Kinosaki)" We stopped in the bike touring of 2017. "Yonsho Shrine (Branch Offices Shrine)" is the center of Kinosaki spa town, at the shrine which is located next to the one "Imperial Palace of hot water" of the seven outside hot water, also known as the patron saint of Kinosaki Onsen. "Yonsho Shrine" has been faith as guardian of the patron god hot springs of the Kinosaki hot springs since ancient times. In the past, the town of Kinosaki is on the border of the "Yonsho Shrine", is the west is the upper and east had been parted from the bottom. Wado first year (708 years), Nissei (hair of Hiukegon) under rights Mamoru received the oracle, four-poster that was Hoshi the Myojin of (four locations) have been the beginning of a "Yonsho shrine". The God of the four-poster, and hot spring guardian of Yuyama chief god (wolf of Yuyamanushi), (hair of the princess alone with was) range Satohi sales God-Takitsu ratio sales God (Takitsuhime hair of) Shikine It is Munakata three goddess of specific sales God (Kami Ichiki Himeno). Munakata three goddess is also the guardian of water. Haiden of the main hall and the Gambrel concrete one-story construction of Mitsumasha Nagare-zukuri both, have been designated as registered tangible cultural property buildings of Hyogo Prefecture. In addition, springing from the main shrine back "life-prolonging water" is also famous as the famous water. Every year in October, in front of one "Ichinoyu" of the famous seven outside hot water in Kinosaki, Yonsho shrine of autumn festivals "Kinosaki Danjiri Festival" will be held in the grand. More than 200 years at the festival with a continued tradition and prestige from the front, conflict of Mitsudomoe that Danjiri (stalls) clash violently, compelling. It is worth a look.
