Ushiomiya Shrine - Omitama

The deity is Takakuraji. It was founded in 992, when Kashima Jingu's Setsumatsusha, Shiomiya, was relocated. Tachibana-go, Hitachi Province, where it is enshrined, had a strong relationship with Kashima Jingu, partly because it became the company territory of Kashima Jingu. It was designated as a village shrine in 1887 and co-promoted in 1918. In addition, the land of Kurashiki is in the middle of the "tide road" where salt made near Taiyo Village in Kashima Nada is transported to Ishioka, the national government, and it seems that it prospered greatly as a relay point where salt is temporarily stored. Shiomiya is called "Itamiya", and "tide" is also salt. The history is strange and interesting as to why the word "tide" was used in the inland area. The entrance to the approach is from a narrow road less than 200 meters southwest. Behind the torii, the approach runs through the forest where beautiful old trees rise. If it is an ordinary shrine, it seems that even one of them may be at the level of Shinboku. Climb the stone steps to the approach. Yup. This tightly compacted and wide approach is truly a long time, with tens of thousands of people walking here, or else it must be. The roots of the trees are exposed, and some are tilted. In the sparkling sunbeams, the fog came in, no, it seems to be burning bonfires and fallen leaves in many places. I thought it was a regular festival or something, but it's not very popular at all. As you can see in the photo, the linear sunlight through the smoke was so fantastic ... I was fascinated by it for a while. A graceful shrine at the end. From the reconstruction in 2003 and the new appearance of the precincts being swept away, it is clear that the company has been deeply revered by the parishioners from ancient times to the present day. Even so, it was a pure and beautiful sanctuary. Even Shikinaisha and Meishin Taisha cannot see such a beautiful sight. There is none.

The deity of the festival is Takakura It was said that it was founded in 1992, when the Shiomiya of Kashima Jingu was enshrined. If you follow the guide on Google Maps, you will go to a private house behind the shrine. To reach Shiomiya Shrine, turn the T-shaped road where Uchida Kogyo Co., Ltd. on Line 8 (Ogawa Hokoda Line) is located toward the mountain, and as you go up along the mountain you can see the tower and enter the side of the tower. There is a parking lot. The wide precincts are cleaned and cleaned by Mr. Ujiko several times a month, and the shrine was rebuilt in 2003 and is in a very beautiful condition. You can feel refreshed if you take a deep breath in a bright and beautiful precinct. I felt that I should be better known at the shrine with a very good atmosphere, so I would like to visit when I want to be calm.
