Sogakumano Shrine - 1337 Itako

As we release every few years such as torii and stone monument, we do not get bored going. If it is the time of the Ayame festival, we will recommend Hanami together. If you wish to receive your seal, please contact in advance to confirm the circumstances of the lord.

There was a big signboard along the national highway, and I was curious about it. Entering from the national highway, there is a torii gate in front and a parking lot on the left side. Immediately after passing through ⛩️, the 830-year-old Shinboku is on the left. It's pretty big. From there, climb the stairs of less than 100 steps to the shrine. What's interesting is that the person who wants a red stamp has a mobile number written in the money box, and it takes about 5 minutes to wait for a reply saying that if you call immediately, you will be taken immediately. Please bring the red stamp by car. Miyaji-san is not stationed at the shrine. Originally, it was a shrine where locals would come to visit for the first time, and it seems that general worshipers have come to visit it since the signboard along the national highway was built.

As the other person wrote, Mr. Miyaji came in about five minutes by phone.

I called to get a red stamp, but unfortunately it didn't lead. The shinboku was very impressive.

I came on a trip to collect red stamps ^ _ ^ It was a nice person! !! It seems that the shrine is cleaned cleanly on the 1st and 15th of every month.

I worshiped because there was a big signboard and I was curious. The deities are Susanoo no Mikoto, Kushinadahime no Mikoto, Izanagi no Mikoto, Izanagi no Mikoto, Hayatama no Mikoto, and Kumano Hayatama no Mikoto. Sogano Yashiro and Kumano Shrine each have a history. According to the company's biography, Sogano Yashiro appeared in Itako Town in the second year of Cheonan (857-858) and moved to the present location in Genroku 9 (1696). During the Tensho era (1573-1586), the villagers worshiped the three Kishu Kumano shrines and built a palace to welcome the spirits of the Kumano shrine. It is said that it became the current company name in 1877 (Meiji 10). When you go up the stairs and enter the precincts on the mountain, Gagaku is flowing, and it feels like a shrine, and it has a very cool and nice atmosphere. There is a school in the immediate vicinity, but I can't hear any sound or voice as much as I care. There are two entrances, the first is that you can stop under the stairs by entering from the big sign. Second, if you turn the next traffic light on the signboard, you will find the parking lot on the right side where the monument for the Mito Domain is located. The offering box is inside the hall of worship, and when you insert the offering through the gap, it falls inside. The red stamp has a telephone number on the worship hall so you can come immediately. The red stamp is the type that you put on it. Mr. Miyaji was very energetic and told me that the big signboard was just made in February and that if the era name changes, the red stamp will also change.

The tree next to the torii is 780 years old! After passing through the many torii gates and climbing the 100 steps, a pleasant space opens up. The red stamp will come as soon as you call the priest. According to the story of the priest, it is said that two mikoshi will be carried down this staircase during the summer festival. I want to come again and see it, and the shrine and the temple grounds are wonderful.

There is a big sign on National Highway 51 Free parking on the left side of Ichino Torii There are too many torii gates (laughs) When I asked Mr. Miyaji, he said that there were too many people who wanted to dedicate, and he refused even this. After worshiping, I called the contact information and they came in about 5 minutes.
