Yuyagongen Momotaro Shrine - Takamatsu

Spring cherry blossoms are beautiful.

Originally the company name was Kumano Shrine, but it was said that the company name was changed to Momotaro Shrine when Hashimoto said that the stage of Momotaro was Kagawa, considering the traditions and place names transmitted to Kinashi. It is a luxury with polite Momotaro, grandfather, grandmother, dog, monkey, and even the grave of the pheasant.

I heard from an acquaintance that Momotaro has a place related to Kagawa. The signboard is a little difficult to understand, but the person who works in the field told me and arrived. There were graves of Momotaro, grandfather, grandfather, dog, monkey, and pheasant. Since Momotaro was here, I got rid of it, and it seems that there are no demons around here and it is Kinashi Town. Why is it a ring? I went there during the daytime on weekdays, but I think you can take a closer look.

Momotarou Shrine in Kinashicho, Takamatsu City ? I wanted to go once and went. There is a place to stop even if you go by car.

"Takamatsu City: Momotarou Shrine" Momotaro is famous for being a fairy tale that has been loved for a long time in Japan, where a boy born from a peach goes to exterminate a demon with a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant. Kinashi Town in Kagawa has many such legends of Momotaro. Yes, "oni" is written as "nothing". In Kagawa, there is Megijima, which is also known as "Onigashima". Regardless of its credibility, I'm curious that there are many place names related to Momotaro. The name of this shrine in Oninashi-cho, Takamatsu City is "Kumano Gongen Momotaro Shrine". The year it was built is unknown, but it is an old shrine that is over 200 years old. Even now, it is carefully protected in the hope of the healthy growth of children. And what is enshrined in this shrine is "Prince Wakatakehiko". This person is actually modeled on Prince Wakatakehiko, the eighth prince of Emperor Korei. At that time, a resident who was suffering from a demon (pirate) who came across the sea asked him to recruit friends and get rid of them. The demon (pirate) used to make Nejo the aforementioned "Megijima". After exterminating the demons, there is a so-called name of this land area changed to "Onimu" in the sense that it is the place where the demons disappeared. And one of the big proofs to support the legend of Momotaro! There is a tomb of Momotaro and a stone monument in the precincts. The stone monument says "Momotaro's Ruins" and "Momotaro's Grandfather Dog Monkey Pheasant's Tomb". In fact, near Onigashima, there are islands and place names such as Inujima (Okayama Prefecture), Saruou (Ayagawa Town), and Hirugaya (Onigaya Town). There is a legend that he went to exterminate the demons. The treatment of the servants is a little rough, but there is certainly solid evidence, Momotaro Kagawa.

I came to a place I've always been interested in! The entrance is narrow as others have written, so I think it's tough if it's a minivan, but I think that smaller ordinary cars and light cars can go to the nearby approach. It's in a really quiet place, but when you come, it feels like a power spot. Near the main hall, Momotaro, dogs, monkeys, pheasants There is also a stone monument grave for grandfather and grandmother, so you can visit them together.
