Tenshin Shrine - Okayama

It is very interesting shrine and Disclose the history. The Mukaiyama there is this shrine originally called Kamoyama, old days there is talk of it was island (sometimes shells, etc., etc. construction work has been excavated). Is referred to as the Kamojima in to say that "the island the coming of duck", soon and become a Kamoyama Rikutsuzuki. And Tenga Shrine was established as a guardian deity of the village, and it seems that the former Sanyo Road also passed through Tsuchida here. Lord through in sankin-kōtai is "because the shrine has a high place," and every time I was through down from the basket to, but Sengu the Tenkamo shrine so may not get off one by one. Era and that parishioners our flow Tsuchida village was moved to the ground Tenkamo shrine far, come true wishes of the "the guardian angel to local Tsuchida", the current built a Tianjin shrine to the company land of Kyutenkamo shrine. The Tianjin shrine I have a north-south two of the approach, one the case was made at the time of Tianjin shrine erected, in particular old north approach to a shrine, desperation and joy of the built at that time parishioner becomes the number of monument remain. By the way, this north approach has 185 steps, so it is better to refrain from those who are not confident in their physical strength because they are almost directly on steep slopes. If public transport use, "Tsuchida east" get off of Uno bus Shinogoze garage bound (the approach from the bus stop), or from JR Higashi Okayama Station North about a 15-minute walk.
