In Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, for some reason, there are many historical sites and legends related to the era of the "Minamoto Hei War". Among them, today I would like to introduce "Yamabuki Shrine". Yamabuki Shrine is a small shrine located in the mountains of Nakayama Town, Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture. It is said that this shrine was built to mourn Yamabuki Gozen, who supported the warlord Kiso Yoshinaka who was active in the Battle of Kurikara Pass during the Battle of Minamoto Taira with Tomoe Gozen. Kiso Yoshinaka raised his martial order in the Battle of Minamoto Hei, but he was accused of rebellion and defeated by Minamoto no Yoritomo. At this time, Yamabuki Gozen was left in the capital of Kyoto due to illness. When Yamabuki Gozen learns of Kiso Yoshinaka's death, he falls to Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, relying on the connection that Kiso Yoshinaka was Iyo Mori. Yamabuki Gozen, who landed in Kaminada, Sokai Town, Iyo City, was unable to walk on his own due to illness, and his vassals tried to cross the mountain by pulling him on bamboo sticks. The Slope in the Midori district of Sokai Town, Iyo City, is called "Hikizaka", the top of the mountain is called "Tsukitaku" because he hid himself with a shield and spent the night, and the place where Gozen is said to have died and changed to a death costume is called "Costume Change Place". Local people, naïve and kind-hearted, built a five-ring pagoda as a tomb to mourn the deceased. Furthermore, in 1892 (Meiji 25) (1892), Local volunteers commissioned Choshu carpenters, who had been skilled in erecting shrines and Temple in Ehime and Kochi, to build the Yamabuki Shrine in order to prevent the Tradition and the five-ring pagoda from being treated poorly. A small shrine that you might overlook when driving in a car. Both the shrine and the pagoda are covered with moss and stand quietly and quietly. The origin of Yamabuki Gozen is unknown, but there is a theory that she was a princess of a wealthy family in the Hajigawa region of Ozu City. At the time of her birth, she was called Yamabuki Gozen, the princess of Yamabuki, because there were many Yamabuki blooming in the garden. In addition, it is said that she was a stool woman (servant, meaning beautiful woman) of Kiso Yoshinaka, but there is also a theory that she was his wife. The life of a beautiful and strong female warrior who was tossed around by the turbulent world is still being told in various parts of Japan. *Yamabuki Shrine* Address: Sareiya, Nakayama-cho, Iyo-shi, Ehime Business hours: Free prayer Car parking lot: None * If you park on Car shoulder of the road, please be careful of Car passage.

#007 【Sightseeing spot Special Feature Part 1 ✨】 Introducing the Sightseeing spot "Hyuga Province Ichinomiya Tono Shrine" that represents Tono Town! I will do my best to make you want to go! Adored by the Town residents as "Ichinomiya Shrine", Tono Shrine is also indispensable for talking about Miyazaki mythology. #I touched on it a little in 001, but I couldn't introduce it yet, and I explained it in a nutshell, so here I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner and make you want to go. ◆ Origin of the name of the shrine The origin of the name of the Ichinomiya Tono Shrine in Hyuga Province is said to have been enshrined in the hope of national peace during the Transportation to the East six years before Emperor Jimmu ascended the throne. Hence Ichinomiya. In addition, it comes from the fact that Tonomachi at that time was revered as Ichinomiya of Hyuga Province because it was Hyuga Country. This shrine is known as the most prestigious shrine in Hyuga Country. And from the town where this shrine sits, it became the Ichinomiya Miyano Shrine in Hyuga Province. ◆ Emperor Jimmu's transition to the east It is said that six years before Emperor Jimmu ascended to the throne as the first emperor, he stopped by this area during his relocation to the east to pray for national peace, Ocean tranquility, and martial luck Nagahisa, and sharpened arrows and other items at the Yaken Waterfall on Mt. Osuzu. #As we covered in 003, that's where the name of Yaken Falls comes from. ◆ Origin of the founding According to the old records, it was the first major shrine in Hyuga Province, but during the Shimazu-Otomo conflict that occurred during the Tensho period, the Shrine, treasures, and ancient documents were all burned down by the fire of the Otomo clan. It is said that the Shintai was evacuated to the foothills of Mt. Osuzu and escaped the disaster. After the war, there was no revival of Shrine for many years, and there was only a small Shrine. In the 5th year of Genroku, the Akizuki Tanemasa was revived, and in the 6th year of Ansei, a donation of Shrine was and by the benevolent family. After that, due to the aging of the Shrine, the "Gozoei Worship Association" was established in 2002 (Heisei 14), and the current Shrine was completed on July 7, 2007 (Heisei 19). ◆ Goshintoku Ooanamuchinomikoto is the divine virtue. Ooanamuchinomikoto had many wives and had many children with them. Because of this, he came to be called the god of Marriage and the god of offspring prosperity (child-giving). In addition, he is said to be the god of medical care (peace of illness) because he established the law of medical care and helped many people, and he is also said to be the god of business development (Prosperity in business) because he worked together with Sukunabi no Mikoto to build one nation after another. ◆ To make a good tour of the Miyano Shrine First of all, when visiting sightseeing spots and public facilities, let's observe good manners. ・ There are Torii (shrine gate) facing east and south There are at the shrine. Most people enter from the south-facing Torii (shrine gate) gate near the Roadside Station, but be sure to bow before passing through the Torii (shrine gate). ・ The center of the approach to the temple is the path of the gods, so try to walk on the edge. ・At Temizuya, cleanse your hands and mouth. Some people wonder why they do this, but this is a preparation for stepping into a sacred space. It is a simplified version of an ancient ritual called misogi. Next is the worship hall. It will be done in the manner of two bows, two claps, and one bow. After that, it is common to enjoy it by drawing fortunes or buying amulets. ・Recently, more and more people are visiting the Shuin stamps. I also carry the Shuin stamp books in my Car. At Tono Shrine, the limited shuin stamps change every month. For example, in March, there is a peach festival, a hinamatsuri (doll festival), so there are illustrations of Ouchiura-sama and Mihina-sama, and more specifically, there are limited to three days. When the illustrations change from month to month, you'll want to collect them all! ・ In Other and Precincts, there are There are beliefs that have Benefit when petted, such as the divine elephant of "Marriage and child treasure", the great country of "Prosperity in business and child-giving", and the rabbit of "peace of illness". When you come, please stroke it. ・ In addition, the Car parking lot set up in the Tsuno Shrine Shokudo Ichinomiya and, Udon noodles and Soba are Famous. Prayer, it is common to eat Udon noodles and go to the next sightseeing spot. Even on weekdays, it may be full. ◆ Main events held at Tono Shrine ・Miyano Shrine Summer Festival (August 1 and 2) ・Annual Grand Festival (early December) ・New Year's Day Festival (January 1) ・Setsubun memorial ceremony (February 3) ・Knotting Festival (early February) There are many Famous Sightseeing spot in Tonomachi to Sightseeing spot that only Local people know.

~It's going to be sunny today ☼~ Hello! This is the Kitsuki City Tourism Association. Last time, Kitsuki Castle post the Scene we took a walk around the area. Today we went to the Castle Town area for a while. The photo shows the view from the scenery "Suya Slope" representing Kitsuki City ~ Kitadai Samurai Residence Street ~ Ohara Residence Scene of the mansion and garden. 【Suya Slope】A slope that tells a lot of the town The slope of Suya Slope, which connects the Samurai residence of Kitadai and the merchant town with its impressive earthen walls and stone walls, is a slope with very beautiful stone pavement. Shihoya's slopes are often introduced as a set, and that's no wonder. These two slopes, which represent Kitsuki, are opposite, and if you go down the slope of Shihoya, you will reach the slope of Suya Slope. The origin of the name of the slope is closely related to the merchants of Tanimachi. Shioya Choemon, who ran a liquor store, was a wealthy merchant who prospered greatly in the salt shop (liquor store) that was running at the bottom of the slope from Tanimachi to Minamidai, and then started a vinegar shop business at the bottom of the slope from Tanimachi to Kitadai. The slopes came to be known as "Shioya (Shihoya) no Saka" or "Suya Slope" because of their respective Squid. As you can see from this episode, Saka is deeply connected to this town, Gari not only has it connected life and people, but it also connects the Edo period and the present in this way. Needless to say, the existence of such a slope shines as a valuable personality of Kitsuki. 【Ohara Residence】 A glimpse into the life of a senior samurai in a beautiful old house Kitadai Samurai Residence Street lined with the ruins of the residences of senior samurai. Among them Suya Slope the Ohara Residence next door is a valuable architectural heritage that even now the lifestyle and atmosphere of the residence of a senior samurai who served as an elder and other important positions. It has a splendid thatched roof and a beautiful walking Garden in the large garden. Other, there is a wide entrance, the presence of the next room, the bow ceiling, and the waiya. Far from being glamorous, it is simple and solid, and yet the high level of formality can be seen everywhere, and evidence that this was the residence of a high-ranking samurai of high status is left in every corner of the building. This building is also a space where you can feel and read about the culture of the Edo period, the culture of samurai society, and the care for people. In addition, there are still even now interesting ingenuities, such as the wisdom of valuing things and saving money can be seen in the washing area and the furnace. ☆ The last photo is a service shot. "The Secret of the Earthen Wall" ~ If you look closely, you can see the structure from the broken part. On the way to the walk, that? You may also encounter interesting situations such as "N??". We will be posting like this in the future, so please take a look.

#004 　It's getting a little hotter! 　I heard that the rainy season has started today in southern Kyushu, but I don't hate rain! Now, as the rainy season ends, summer will come all at once. Since it is already summer on the calendar, we will introduce the "Tono Shrine Summer Grand Festival", which is a summer tradition in Tonomachi, Miyazaki Prefecture! 【Minamoto of the Tono Shrine Summer Grand Festival】 　When you think of summer, you think of fireworks, stalls, and Bon Dancing. Depending on the region, various traditional events such as the Nebuta Festival in Aomori and the Gion Festival There are. 　What is the traditional event in Tsunomachi, it is the "Tsuno Shrine Summer Festival". 　In the first place, festivals are not held for no reason, but are almost always held for some purpose. For example, to protect against pests and Nature disasters, to ward off epidemics, and to interact with local residents. 　So, what about the Miyano Shrine Summer Grand Festival? In fact, it There are Minamoto at the Miyano Shrine Summer Grand Festival. It is said that the origin of this Festival Minamoto was due to the fact that Empress Jingong invited a festival to Mifune during the Silla expedition. The meaning of this Festival is that since Tonomachi is a town where the agriculture and livestock industry is thriving, the purpose There are is to ward off pests that hinder a good harvest, as well as typhoons in Miyazaki Prefecture, and to pray for the expulsion of epidemics. However, in fact, Ooanamuchinomikoto, who is enshrined in the Tono Shrine, is also the god of water, so it rained on festival days, and a few years ago a typhoon hit directly. 　Nevertheless, the Town residents continue to hold this festival without stopping. 【Charm of this Festival】 　It is a summer festival that people who were born and raised in Tonomachi look forward to every year, so much so that they say, "I don't go home for Bon or New Year, but I only go home for the summer festival," or "It's not summer if I don't go to the summer festival." That much? You might think so, but I'm one of them. Born and raised in Tonomachi, I have loved this festival since I was a child, and whenever I am in the third year of junior high school, I carry the Float of the junior high school. When you experience this, you will feel the coolness and satisfaction of the Float Stand, and you will also feel that you want to carry the Float Stand somewhere someday. We would like to introduce the charm of the "Miyano Shrine Summer Grand Festival". ◆About the schedule of the Festival 　August 1 and 2 of each year ◆Introduction of Float Stand 　In addition to the golden Mikoshi of the shrine, there are several Float stands in this Festival. It is no exaggeration to say that this Float is the charm of this Festival. ・Hamawaka Float (Shimohama area) ・Shinmachi Float (Shinmachi District) ・Kitawaka Float (Kitamachi District) ・Village Pump Float (mainly in the pine grove area) 　Float drums from these four towns Parade around the town for two days, and after entering the palace on the second day, they fight. In addition, there are Ands of Tono Junior High School Float, Shimohama Children's Float, Shimachi Children's Float, Ichinomiya Nursery School Mikoshi, etc., which liven up the festival. 　In addition, this is not the only thing that enlivens the festival, but there are also Tono Youth Drums, Djebe Drums, Pine Grove Lions, Yosakoi Maitreya Ren, and dances by each elementary school, and the sound of Drums echoes in various places over the two days. ◆ Contents of 2 days 　First of all, on the first day, "beach descent" is held, and Sarutahiko and a lion lead the Mikoshi while dispelling evil spirits from the path. The good Saruta Hiko Taki a tree branch to the ground, and a lion bites the heads of the onlookers as they walk. Some children cry because it is so powerful. As I do so, a golden Mikoshi carrying a junior high school boy comes from behind. The next thing that appears is the Float stand of Tono Junior High School. Girls carry the Float stand until the beach descent. Next, Float stands from the four towns will be lined up while carrying shouts that are as good as junior high school students. That's how we go down the beach. 　On the second day, a Float drum stand parades through the town, and in the evening, a Mikoshi departs along the shopping street, followed by other Float stands. Beyond that, the Finale place, "Hyuga Province Ichinomiya Tono Shrine" awaits. Thousands of onlookers gather in front of the Torii (shrine gate) gate on the east side of the Tono Shrine to catch a glimpse of the powerful scene, waiting for the sound of the Float to be heard. At 7 p.m., all the Mikoshi and Float drums pass through the Torii (shrine gate) gate to enter the shrine. In fact, the purpose of the visitors is after entering the palace. 　As I mentioned above, what happens after entering the palace is a "fight between Float Stands". When you hear the word "fight", you think of many things that come to mind, such as fistfights! All right! There are no fistfights, and there are good police officers. It seems that in the old days there were accidents and real fights, but now there are no such things. Festival fights are fought by hitting each other with Float stands. If you press a few meters, you win. There are also people who come from outside the prefecture and foreign countries just to see this. This festival is worth coming to. ◆Summary 　One of the charms of Tsunomachi is the "Tsuno Shrine Summer Grand Festival", which contains the history and the thoughts of the people who have inherited it so far. There are many similar festivals all over the country. However, each festival has its own history, charm, and scenery. Please come to the summer grand festival that the residents of Tono Town residents have created for decades.

In Kyoto Prefecture, on the way to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you pass a very small shrine, and the gardens in the shrine are very delicate and beautiful, and when you walk in, the whole atmosphere is a huge contrast with the outside environment. In my opinion, this place is a space with a classical atmosphere that is more representative of Japan and Kyoto, and I believe that people many years ago enjoyed the same scenery as us.
