The Oi River continues to flow cleanly since ancient times. The water god of the Oi River, which gives us a rich water source and many blessings necessary for life, is the god of Oi Shrine. In honor of the water god, we have also awarded an amulet that is as clear as water. Through the amulet that is as clear as the clear stream of the Oi River, please always receive the blessing of the water god.

10/1~10/31 only Oi Shrine is a monthly limited "obi shuin stamps". It is a gorgeous pattern related to our big festival "Obi Festival". Since it is transparent, you can also enjoy it through the scenery.

The Oi Shrine Grand Festival is also called the "Obi Festival" and is a festival in which the god of Oi Shrine returns to the old shrine site (inn) once every three years. Today, for three days including the second Sunday in October, a gorgeous festival is held in the town of Shimada where dainu, daimyo processions, Kashima odori, street stall dances from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, and ground dances are held. Especially on the last day, all of them form a large procession together with the mikoshi procession, and they slowly parade for a whole day for a round trip of about 4 km from Oi Shrine to the inn. Due to the appearance and swing of the dainu at this time, as well as the unique form of Kashima Odori, the obi festival has come to be counted as one of the three strange festival in Japan. In addition, since the Edo period, first-class entertainers from Edo have been invited to choreographed dances in each town, Nagauta, and shamisen, and Nagauta in particular is also called "Nagauta Festival" because the iemoto of each school competed for throat.

On both sides of the approach to the shrine with a view of the worship hall, there is a pair of stone top dogs, which always protect the gods. This powerful and dignified komainu was dedicated in 1938 by a then-famous Japanese confectionery shop called "Oki Kyodo" in Hondori 5-chome, Shimada, the year after the start of the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident), and was carved by Shimada stonemason Masuno-chohei. The right pedestal is carved with the words "Takeyu" and the left pedestal is carved with "Nagahisa", and it seems that it is a top dog dedicated to pray for Japan's victory and peace, and the safety of those who went to war.

Oi Shrine is the water god of the Oi River, and there is a kami pond with clear water in its precincts, and the pure water from an old well flows into the precincts. The water temperature is almost constant all year round, so it feels cold in summer and warm in winter. The first pond was built in the precincts of the shrine in 1915, about 100 years ago, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the relocation of Oi Shrine to the land of Shimada, and was built around the current parking lot on the side of the shrine office by the services of the veterans at that time. The current pond was moved to the center of the precincts in 1985 during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, and it is more magnificent in size and scenery than the previous pond. Now it is indispensable in the precincts, and it is a beautiful water scenery of the water god.

The sight of the morning sun shining over the sea of clouds and Mt. Fuji was very beautiful.

It was ??? a beautiful sunrise sky

The beach of Izu Shimoda is like a mirror with smooth sand. The spring sea will be quiet and carve the memories of the two of you in the sand.

It is one in the neighborhood park The sunrise sky was beautiful.

This is a station that is still in use today called "Okuoikojo Station" floating on a lake deep in the mountains of Shizuoka Prefecture. On this day, after the typhoon has passed, the water shines blue, and the scenery of the railway running over it is truly spectacular. The light is also shining at the right time, and it is one that I would like everyone to see.

The sight of the duck chicks swimming desperately is both cute and powerful.

A day that took a big cap cloud.

Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, a place where you can enjoy Mt. Fuji and the Shinkansen at the same time. It is said to be a rare curve place for the Shinkansen.

Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, near Asagiri Highland. Diamond Fuji in the morning sun.

In Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, you can see Mt. Fuji reflected beautifully even after rice planting, but the picture is slightly distorted by the surface tension on the rice. After all, the aim is a short period before rice planting.

At the end of G.W., you can see Diamond Fuji as the sun sets from the paddy fields of Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Reflected in the rice paddies where rice planting has been completed, the luxurious sight of Double Diamond Fuji is only for a moment. It's a really nice sight.

Before rice planting, clear skies, and no wind, you can see the splendid water mirror of Mt. Fuji in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. A luxurious sight for only a short time until the wind begins to blow.
