Takahama Shrine - Ishioka

The god of ritual is Takemikazuchi, and Tsukuyomi-no-Michizane, Sugawara no Michizane. According to the explanatory version of the precincts, "The land of Takahama prospered as an outer port of the Kokufu in ancient times. When the Kokushi arrived from the capital, he pilgrimaged to a large shrine in the country for a report and prayed for a memorial service. In order for Kokushi to visit Kashima Shrine, the route was to go by boat from Takahama, but when it was impossible to sail due to stormy weather, a temporary store (Susuki, Makomo, Yoshi, etc.) was used in the Nagisa of Takahama. It is said that Aoya) was built and worshiped for a long time. Currently, there are a main shrine, a worship hall, a stone torii gate, etc., but this shrine is probably built in posterity. " Ever since I visited "Aoya Shrine", which is located on the side of Hitachinokunisosha, I have been thinking about it for our company, but today my wish has come true. There are many large trees of vertebrates and cedars in the spacious precincts, which tells the story of old and old history. There are even playground equipment for some reason. And above all, the thatched-roof worship hall and the main shrine. Only thatched roofs can still be seen in the main shrine, but both are rare ... and as beautiful as I expected. I really wanted to see this. Takahama Shrine used to be settled on the beach, but I hear that it has moved a little away from Kasumigaura due to reclamation. I wanted to take a picture in fine weather, and as the clouds gradually approached the sky, I hurriedly ran the bike to make it in time, but it was good. Ten minutes after leaving our company, it was already cloudy.

Shinto shrine that seems to be very old and that is in the region of Takahama.

It is a rare shrine of thatched roof ☆ 2018. As of March 2 I was able to see the construction work of Kaya which can not be seen easily ↑ I bought a cup of coffee in the next Seven so as not to get in the way of construction, I was looking for a short time while drinking, but it was good to have a wonderful opportunity ☆ Postscript ... 2019. Seven next door closed at the end of February.

The thatched shrine is good, about 5 minutes on foot from Takahama station. It's hard to say that there are playsets on the premises.

The deity is Takemikazuchi. The ritual is Tsukuyomi no Michizane, Sugawara no Michizane Takahama prospered as an outer port of the Kokufu, and as a practice, when the Kokushi arrived in each country from the capital, there was a rule to visit the shrine of that country to report worship, to worship every year, and to pray. In Hitachi Province, Kashima Jingu was the first major shrine, so when Kokushi arrived, he was supposed to go to Kashima by boat from Takahama, the outer port of Kokufu. A temporary hall (Aoya) was built from green grass such as Susuki, Makomo, and Yoshi, and he worshiped Kashima Jingu. It is said that the temple was built in the ancient Harukasho area in posterity. The precincts are not large, but the thatched roof creates the atmosphere of THE shrine. There is no parking lot, and you can put one in front of the torii gate. There is a convenience store next to the main shrine, so you can shop. I think it will be easier to worship if you park your car in the torii. There are also playsets for children to play in the precincts.

In ancient times, there was Takahama Shrine at the entrance of Hitachi Kokufu in Ishioka City, and a venerable shrine where Kokushi worshiped at Kashima Jingu Shrine on a boat from the beach. The main shrine and temple of Hitachi Province have a quaint thatched roof, and the Funatsukayama Kofun is behind it, which is a shrine that has a connection with Kashima Jingu Shrine.

When you get off Takaoka Station and walk in a quiet landscape, you will see a building like a storehouse in the back of the path on your left, so if you turn there, the torii gate of Takaoka Shrine will be on your right. I will omit the detailed origin because I have posted a photo, but the surrounding buildings are also tasteful with earthen walls, so you can spend a quiet time.
