Sumisaka Shrine - Uda

It was impressive that the red shield and red halberd, which are also mentioned in the Kiki, are placed in the hall of worship.

I chose Sumisaka Shrine while looking at Google Maps to find another place to visit Uda's temples and shrines. There are some attractive places such as the location of the shrine and the vermilion bridge on the river, but it's hard to get the impression that it's a little lacking in style. I wonder if it can't be helped. When I visited, there was just no one and I couldn't get the red stamp.

It is a very luxurious shrine. Cars cannot be parked on New Year's and festival days, so it is recommended to visit on weekdays. We are conducting fund-raising activities with the aim of moving to the shrine in May 3rd year of Reiwa.

There is a torii on the left as soon as the Ise Honkaido tries to cross the bridge that straddles the Uda River from the Ise side. After this, you will pass through the elevated Kintetsu Osaka Line and connect to R165. The intersection is complicated around here. This is a chance to judge that it is a highway. After that, if you take a walk around the area, you will find the remnants of the past. It is one of my laws that there is no doubt if there are many alleys. When you start walking from Haibara Station toward the Uda River, you will find a strange intersection with Chirahora. The narrow alleys become more complicated as you approach the bridge in front of Sumisaka Shrine. Also, the fact that the culvert goes around this area is reminiscent of Nakasu. I feel that this shrine, which sits in Kawamukai, is really compact and has a small width. A stone wall will be built even higher from the road along the river, and the reason above it is to avoid flooding of the river. The nearby residential area is also a place to go up a steep slope. The dragon royal palace and water source are located on the left side of the precincts after climbing the stone steps. If this is enshrined, the point is that the width is narrow. The vermilion shrine has a strong presence in this green space ... It is a shrine that attracts interest when you pass by. The highlight is the beauty of the mountain ridges seen from this company. Only when viewed with the naked eye ... I think it is a superb view that cannot be expressed with a camera. There is Udamikumari Shrine in a short distance. In other words, the watershed ... the waterway is here. Upstream was Murou Dam.

Emperor Sujin When the epidemic spread all over the country in the spring of 9th year and the emperor was suffering from the loss of the people, one night a god man stood in the emperor's dream and said, "Red. The emperor worshiped the god of Sumizaka with eight shields and eight poles of red sword, and worshiped the god of Osaka with eight shields and eight poles of black sword. " It is said that the plague has healed and became safe in the world. The god of Sumizaka is the deity of this shrine, and the god of Osaka is the deity of Osaka Yamaguchi Shrine (Osaka, Kashiba City). Therefore, we have many worshipers who pray for warding off evil, groundbreaking, warding off, healing illness, and traffic safety.

The stunning vermilion color of the hall of worship is eye-catching There was so much Mikamisui that the shrine itself sang, "Mikamisui Hadomizu Miraculous water"

A shrine that enshrines the god of health, which is said to be the oldest in Japan After worshiping, you will receive the water of Yamato, the sacred water. Bring your own bottle!
