Ibe Shrine / Tokushima Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 ⛩️Introduction to the shrine Ibe Shrine, whose deity is Amenohiwashi-no-Mikoto, is said to be the Abe Ibe clan, whose descendants are said to be Amenohiwashi-no-Mikoto. They are said to be a group belonging to the Ibe clan, who were responsible for the rituals of the ancient imperial court, and have been responsible for the heavy responsibility of preparing hemp fabrics called "aratae" that are offered to the Yukiden and Sukiden within the Daijokyu Palace during the Daijosai festival of successive emperors! (Although it was once discontinued, it has continued since Emperor Taisho to the present day) Ibe Shrine, which was responsible for the national rituals, was burned down during the Sengoku period and its location is unknown. So a dispute over the genealogy of the Imbe clan broke out. Gose Shrine in Mima County and Imbe Shrine in Yoshinogawa City. In order to settle the dispute between the two shrines, a new shrine site was established halfway between the two shrines. Since then, it has been located at its current location since 1892. 🗺️Points on the grounds ・There are long and steep stone steps, so watch your step⚠️ ・It's not flashy, but you can enjoy the solemn atmosphere. 💗Thoughts about the shrine The shrine is located on higher ground than I expected!

Motoise Konojinja Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Motoise Konojinja Shrine, the Ichinomiya of Tango Province Before moving to Ise, Amaterasu Omikami lived with Toyouke Omikami, hence the name "Motoise". It all began when Hikohoakari no Mikoto descended to this land in the Age of the Gods. Toyouke Omikami was enshrined in Manaihara. Manaihara is the present Manai Shrine. Amaterasu Omikami moved to this land because of the presence of Toyouke Omikami, and lived with Toyouke Omikami for four years. This is said to be the only place in Motoise where Amaterasu Omikami and Toyouke Omikami lived together. Amaterasu Omikami moved to Ise during the reign of Emperor Suinin, and Toyouke Omikami was called by Amaterasu Omikami and moved there about 450 years later during the reign of Emperor Yuryaku. The main deity was then made Hikohoakari, and the shrine was renamed Kagomiya. The name Kago comes from the story that Hikohoakari rode in a bamboo basket boat to Umijingu (Ryugu, Tokoyo?). It is also said to be the origin of the Urashima legend, with Urashima Taro being considered an incarnation of Hikohoakari. The Kaifu clan, who have been hereditary priests for generations, are the 83rd generation descendants of Hikohoakari. Hikohoakari is the grandson of Amaterasu Omikami, and was bestowed with the Hetsukagami and Okitsukagami mirrors by Amaterasu Omikami when she descended to earth; their existence was revealed in 1987. Since it dates back more than 2000 years, this proves that it is originally from Ise. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Motoise Kago Shrine ꕥAddress: 430 Ogaki, Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚌🚏Miyazu Station → 🚏Amanohashidate Motoise Kago Shrine → About 1 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #shrine #shrine visit #shrine tour #Kyoto #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip #Amanohashidate #Amanohashidate sightseeing

Nonomiya Shrine 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Nonomiya Shrine is located on the way to the bamboo forest path in Kyoto. The autumn leaves 🍁 in the shrine grounds were so beautiful! In contrast, there is a moss garden. The place called "Nonomiya Carpet Moss" is not as flashy as the autumn leaves, but the more you look at it, the more fantastical the beauty becomes. The moment you enter the shrine grounds, you will feel as if you have traveled back in time. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Nonomiya Shrine ꕥAddress: 1 Saga Nonomiya-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉 Saga Arashiyama Station → approx. 10-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Nonomiya Shrine #Kyoto #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip #Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrine worship #Shrine lover
