Yatagarasu Shrine - Uda

I was attracted to the name, but it wasn't a big shrine and I didn't feel that there was something old. The memorial statue of Yatagarasu at the time of the World Cup was also a little disappointing. However, it seems to have a long history.

Yatagarasu Okami, who contributed to the victory by guiding from Yoshino to Yamato in the Kojiki and the Tosei of Emperor Jimmu in the Nihon Shoki, is enshrined. I frankly thought that the first impression was beautiful and lovely. When you pass through the torii gate and look up at the hall of worship, you can see the entire Inasayama as a god, and you will be taken in by the overwhelming power and feel. It's powerful, but it doesn't have a compulsory sarcasm, and it feels warm, wrapped and supported in strength. When I visited, the people around me were mowing and cleaning the grass. It seems that it is loved and valued by the surrounding residents. So maybe I felt a strong warmth. Most of them are few to see, but they calm and warm your heart. The parking lot is small, but it's free, so I think you should spend it until your heart is calm and warm.

At the time of Jinmu's eastern transition (not Tosei), the group who had been stagnant in the steep Yoshino mountain without a road was led to Yamato by the land lord Kamotaketsunumi, who wore a black robe and jumped from a tall tree to a tree. It is said that Emperor Jimmu gave the title of "Yatagarasu" as an award for his merit because it looked like a large crow with eight shakus (or even incarnate). In the Shoku Nihongi period, it appears that Yatagarasu Shrine is celebrated in the 2nd year of Keiun (705) before the Nara dynasty, and this is the foundation of our company. It has been revered as an ancient war god, and it is said that it prospered greatly during the Nanbokucho period due to the deep faith of Emperor Go-Daigo. There is also a parking lot at the end of the long approach that extends from Route 31. There was no one in the precincts and it was quiet, probably because it was a worship around 4 o'clock in the evening. It seemed that a red stamp was prepared in the hall of worship, but since the planned number had ended today, I wrote down the address on the form and put it in the money box together with the first ear fee. The mascot character of the Japanese national soccer team sits beside the hall of worship, and it is very bimyo whether this is suitable for a company with deep ball gravel that seems to drown. The red stamp was sent with a polite letter of attachment over time.

If you go through the torii gate, there is a parking lot and it is small. I felt like a local shrine ? The red stamp has a 300 yen note and please put it in the offering box ? It was a quiet and peaceful place ?

I have been worshiping at the shrine that enshrines Yatagarasu, the symbol of the guiding god. There was also a statue of Yatagarasu heading a soccer ball commemorating the FIFA World Cup in the precincts. Also, I would like to visit you.

I stopped by for "Uda / Murou's Journey". Since it was a prayer around 8 am, I was able to pray calmly and I think that it reached the guiding god well. If you go up the steep stairs behind the hall of worship, you will find the main hall with a dazzling red paint, which is a must-see. The soccer monument is also cute. Thank you for your hesitation.

I was so worried about the shrine that enshrined Yatagarasu for the first time in Japan ? If you enter the road that one car can finally pass through (you can enter from the torii gate that you can see along the road), there is a parking lot, so stop there and worship immediately. There were no worshipers and I was the only one, but one group came after visiting. It is a very quiet and beautiful shrine that is not crowded with people. The front of the hall of worship is very spacious with no waste and the sound of gravel is comfortable ☺️ There is also a red stamp, but currently it is only written down and does not have a date. There is a box next to the money box, so you will be asked to put 300 yen in the money box. There is also a stone statue of the Japan-Korea World Cup next to the hall of worship. The scenery beyond the torii is also nice and calming ❤ Actually, it was a snowstorm before arrival, but it became sunny enough to get closer to the shrine, and I was very grateful that it was shining brightly at the time of worship ? It's very interesting to look at the historical writings, so I haven't been to Nara yet, so I wanted to visit more areas.

★ Visiting shrines and visiting red stamps Today I went to visit Yatagarasu Shrine in Uda City, Nara Prefecture ? Yatagarasu Shrine can be seen as "September 705 AD, Yatagarasu Shrine in Yamato Province, Uta-gun Festival" in "Shoku Nihongi", which is one of the early days of Japan. It is said that Yatagarasu Shrine was created ☺ The god of rituals guided the stagnant party in Mt. Yoshino to Yamato no Kuni at the stage of Jinmu's Eastern Transition in Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, and contributed to the victory of the emperor ). According to the tradition of "Shinsen Shojiroku", it is said that Kamotaketsunumi was incarnated as "Yatagarasu" when he led Emperor Jimmu ? Since ancient times, it has been revered as a war god from such a history, and it is said that the company prospered greatly during the Nanbokucho period due to the deep faith of Emperor Go-Daigo. If you are going by car, go under the torii gate from Prefectural Road 31 (although it is a little narrow) and there is a parking lot (free) on the right side of Yatagarasu Shrine. The red stamp is written on the offering box in the hall of worship ☺️ 300 yen ☺️
