Yojiroinari Shrine - Akita

Mar'26.2018 Visit, image posted later. Inari who is full of individuality will welcome you, The image will be posted at a later date.

I found a cute Inari in Chiaki Park. There were a lot of foxes among the many torii and torii. I felt very relaxed. I felt that even local shrines are wonderful shrines for locals.

Torii and fox statues are arranged alternately ⛩ It is also the motif of the image character "Yojiro" of "Area Nakaichi" ?

The company of the legendary Hikyaku Yojiro who served Yoshinobu Satake. It is said that he was enshrined in Inari to comfort the spirit of Yojiro who was killed and became a spirit. Is it appropriate to think that it is a large-scale shrine because the neighboring Akita Hachiman Shrine enshrines Mr. Satake?

Yojiro Inari Shrine is a shrine that is said to worship the fox "Yojiro" who served as a pilgrimage to the first lord of the Kubota feudal lord, Yoshinobu Satake.

It sits next to Hachiman Shrine. The red torii shines.

20200411 I was playing Namahage on a TV program, so I went to the first Oga Peninsula Bullet Tour! The weather was fine and I woke up a little early and left at 6:00. I was able to save time and transfer to the toll road to arrive at the Oga Peninsula before noon! The first half of this bullet tour, "Oga no Namahage", will be over, and we will move on to the second half, "Castle Ruins & Shrine Tour"! We worshiped at "Hachiman Akita Shrine" and visited "Yojiro Inari Shrine" next door! A guardian dog will welcome you at the first torii gate, and various old and new foxes will welcome you at the second torii gate! Yojiro Inari Shrine: Settled at the site of Kubota Castle and the current Chiaki Park. Next to Hachiman Akita Shrine, this Inari-san seems to have a legend! From "Public Relations Akita": The legend of Yojiro Inari erection is "Old Fox who served Yoshinobu Satake" "Mt. Shinmei in Kubota (now Senaki Park), where there were few people living in wastelands and swamps. In front of Yoshinori Satake, who changed the country from Hitachi to Akita and built a new castle, Kubota Castle on this mountain. A big fox appeared and said to Yoshinori, "I am the head of the 300-year-old fox who lived on Mt. Therefore, please give me a place to live with the help of the lord. If this wish can be fulfilled, I will surely serve you. " Poor Yoshinori gave the fox a place near the castle's tea garden and decided to call it "Yojiro, the tea garden guard." Yojiro Kitsune, as promised, was to work as a hikiki, making a round trip between Akita and Edo in just six days. However, due to the grudges of the hikyaku who lost their jobs due to Yojiro's fox's success, he was killed by a trap at Rokutamura (Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture) on the Hashu Kaido. Yojiro Inari Shrine, which was moved to the present Senshu Park Honmaru, was the place where Yoshinori created a shrine and worshiped the spirit of Yojiro Fox's unfortunate death. "
