Suwa Shrine - Katori

We visited the last day of the Heisei period. There is a parking lot on the back of the main hall, I went down once and went to visit the steep stairs again. There are only steep stairs in the precincts, but they were cleaned well. You can get your seal and amulet at the company office, but it will be on the right hand side of the hand water store.

Shrine of Sahara's Fall Festival, which takes place every 3 days of the second week of Friday, Saturday and Sunday in October God is a famous god Founding is Tensei (1573-1593) According to historical writing, history has been appointed by the lord of the Shiga Osamu Otoku Sugasou by the deity of Ogami Yume, who has been taken over by Suga Taisha as a guardian of the territory from the Suwa Taisha, by virtue of mowing the Fujiwara Junyu of Tenkei (939). It is reported that the lord of the day had dedicated to the present location when developing Sahara Shinjuku. If you park in the parking lot in the south approach and go to the ground, the cherry blossoms will be wonderfully blooming, which may be because the ground is warm and has a fluffy atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable. The precincts are also wide, and the shrine built in Kanaga 6 (1853) is a rustic but sculpted sculpture with a profound feeling. There are Omotesando and South approach roads to enter the precinct, but the parking lot is near the south approach road, no parking lot can be found near the Omotesando road, and there are 128 steps of stone steps in the torii gate in front of Omotesando. It is recommended that people with poor foot traffic enter the precinct from the south approach.

After passing the torii, you will be overwhelmed by the stairs in front of you, but if you climb slowly, it will not be so painful. I visited during the afternoon of consecutive holidays, but there were no other worshipers and I was able to visit slowly. I got a red stamp.

Sawara Suwa Shrine. The god of ritual is Takeminakata god.

The approach to Suginami is a pleasant shrine. The office was willing to write a red stamp when I pressed the interphone.

2021.9.25. Visit This time, I was curious about the scenery I saw from the bus heading to Tadaasahimori Inari Shrine, so I stopped by on my way home. I couldn't worship at the entrance because I didn't have time. It seems to be the people of the general generation who mow the grass on the approach. That's how the shrine is protected. The photo was taken 3 hours after passing in the morning, and it seems that the work has been done for more than 3 hours. My head goes down. 2021.7.24. Worship About an 8-minute walk from Sawara Station, you can use the 1-day circulation bus ticket to Katori Jingu for a great deal. A short walk from Sawara Station will bring you to Ichinotorii. Going further, there is a second torii gate, followed by long stone steps. Chozuya (unusable) in the middle of the stone steps. There are Setsumatsusha and Setsumatsusha on the left and right, and the office is on the far right. Climb the stone steps further to the shrine. It's old, but it's a fine structure. After apologizing, press the intercom at the office and thank you for your reply. When I asked him that it was a nuisance to his sudden visit, he made a strange face and smiled, "It's okay." I had you write a red stamp with a soft feminine brush. After going around Kashima Jingu and Katori Jingu, I had the Goshuin book recorded in another item. Because it's Suwa Shrine. By the way, I often saw black swallowtail butterflies on this day. At Suwa Shrine, I saw the bluebottle and the black bluebottle that I saw for the first time. When I checked it later, it seems to be Papilio memnon. White spots on the black wings are characteristic. Also, seeing a black swallowtail butterfly at a shrine is a sign of God's welcome.

If you go along the approach from the second torii gate, there are 128 steps, and the main shrine is at the end of the climb. There are Chozuya in the middle of the stairs, Tomori Inari, Kotohira Shrine, etc. on both sides of the stairs. From the parking lot, you can reach the main shrine in a few minutes without going up the 128 stairs through the south approach. The office is in the middle of the stairs and I got a red stamp.

I stopped my motorcycle in front of the torii gate, walked along the approach to the shrine, and climbed the long stone steps to worship. There are several precincts, and the atmosphere was good and I was able to spend a calm time. You can get the red stamp at the office in the middle of the stone steps.
