Tōmi Shrine - Sakurai

8/8 There was a free parking lot right next to it. It was a wonderful shrine that was deeper than it looked and was very quiet on a large site. I also received a handwritten red stamp.

Deity: Uezuo Shrine → Reiki Dainichi (Ohirume no Muchimikoto, Amaterasu Omikami) Shimotsoo Shrine → Right Hall (Hachiman Shrine) Iwa Myojin, Emperor Jimmu, Shinda Wakimei Shimotsoo-sha → Saden (Kasuga-sha) Emperor's spirit god, Ame-no-koya Seating area: 1176 Sakurai, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture It's a shrine full of highlights. First of all, it is also in the Chozuya. A stone structure like a turtle blowing water in the Chozuya. This is a sacred beast called "favorite". Legend has it that it is one of the nine dragon-born beasts, Nine Sons of the Dragon, and prefers to chase the weight, so it has been used to decorate the foundations of stone pillars and stone monuments since ancient times. The Japanese proverb "Pulling down a favor" means "If you favor a person too much, you will put him at a disadvantage and not for him", but the origin is the foundation of the pillar. It is said that the pillar collapses when a certain proverb is pulled. In addition, there are 13 monuments and poems, so it is a good idea to take a leisurely stroll. In addition to Kamitsuo and Shimotsoo, there are Ebisu, Kompira, Kuroryu, Inari, Sarutahiko, Atago, and Sakurai City Gokoku Shrine, so if you visit this shrine, you may not need to go to another shrine for the time being. Hey. There are parking lots and toilets, but there are stairs in some places, so you need an attendant to worship in a wheelchair. The red stamp was received directly at the office.

Tomi Shrine Amaterasu, Takamimusubi, Takamimusubi, Ubutama Shrine Main shrine Nagare-zukuri According to the company's biography, our company was seated on Mt. Tomi in the background. During the Heian period, it was listed at the Shikinai shrine, but in the 3rd year of Tenei (1112), the shrine was moved to its current location due to a landslide. According to the "Nihon Shoki", Emperor Jimmu set up a ghost (festival niwa) to worship the ancestral god Tentsu God four years after his coronation at "Kashihara-gu". Reimu is a place where Daijosai is held. After climbing for about 30 minutes and standing on the top of Mt. Torimi, there is only one small stone monument and an explanation board. It's a pity that I can't open my view. During the Nanbokucho period, Kaiju Nishia built Torimiyama Castle near the summit, so it would have been a fortified area overlooking the Ise Kaido. I hope I can still see Mt. Miwa by cutting down a part of it.

Visited for the stone monument of Sarutahiko, the god of the road. Is Tomiyama in the background a sacred body? There wasn't much to feel in the main shrine. I know that the summit is where the Daijosai was held for the first time. It wasn't until I came here that I learned that it was a shrine related to Yatagarasu. I didn't have the energy to go to the top of the mountain, but I would like to walk in Yamauchi, where the main shrine used to be. There are few information boards, and the torii gate presented by Ise Naiku is casual and overlooked. There seems to be a replica of the excavated statue that is said to be Yatagarasu, but there seems to be a towel and a key chain. The next time you reach the top of the mountain, what do you get?

I visited for the purpose of autumn leaves. Unlike the famous shrines in the vicinity, it was a wonderful shrine with a quiet and solemn atmosphere. However, the scale is so large that it may be a little disappointing to come in the "main". This time I visited by walking from Sakurai station. There was a small information board along the way, so it's hard to get lost, and it's a flat road, so I think it's easy to walk, but there is a certain distance (about 30 minutes for a round trip), so those who have prepared in advance (route confirmation etc.) I think that is good.

On the way back after walking around Sakurai City, I saw a sign saying that the autumn leaves were lit up on the road near the shrine, and I went to worship without any prior knowledge about the shrine. ) I didn't expect it at all because it's always a casual walk. Good. It was healed to the maximum. It was an Enki-shiki inner shrine, and it had a long history, was solemn, and the autumn leaves of maples that wrapped the shrine were beautiful ?. About lighting up, it seems that it is for a limited time during the autumn leaves. Free parking is also available. ? And the atmosphere of the whole shrine made me feel at ease, and I felt like I was able to do my best again from tomorrow. It was wonderful ...
