    天気がいいので、小國神社まで遠征。土曜日、どこかしこも車で渋滞？ですが、高速を利用せず、どこかしこも車で渋滞？です。小國神社内の駐車場は少し待ちました。神社近くにもたくさん駐車場がありますが。。。参拝者は多く来ていました。桜の木の下で、結婚したカップルが記念撮影していました。参拝するのに5分くらい並びました。駐車場の売り場も混んでましたが、少し休憩できのんびりしました。

    そこに立っているだけで神様のご加護がありそうな圧力を感じます。 大木たちが浄化してくれているのか、澄んだ空気のなかで清らかな気持ちになります。 お参りし、御朱印をいただいただけなのですが、とてもさわやかな気持ちで帰りました。

    全国に千を超えるという秋葉神社の総本山で火防の願いを叶える古社です。調理場や焼き物の窯等火を使う職場で最もよく目にするお札が秋葉神社と思います。戦災を受け新たに建てられた金色の鳥居や境内にある火打ち石などが特徴的でした。山の頂上なので景色も素晴らしかったです。

    参道の階段を登ると秋葉杉が厳かな雰囲気を醸し出しています。火の神ヒノカグツチを祀る全国の秋葉神社の総本山ですが、戦災にあった上社本宮の遥拝所として建てられた下社だからか訪れる人も少なく静かにお参りできました。

    ゆるキャンの聖地巡礼です。正直、あのアニメが無ければ、この神社を知ることは無かったかもしれません。人間の苦難を救った霊犬悉平太郎の伝説で有名な神社、祭神として祀られていませんが、境内奥の霊犬神社にて祀られているようです。また聖地巡礼地らしく、絵馬にリンちゃんやなでしこの絵を描いていく人もいます。一つ残念なことを言うと訪問時拝殿は修繕中で、全体を見ることは出来ませんでした。

Consequently, the shrine sees many visitors during the blooming season.

    創建に関してはハッキリ判っていませんが、927年の記録で「真草神社」の名で記載がある社が龍尾神社になったと思われます。 場所に関しても元々は別の場所にあり、1480年頃に子角山に掛川城が築城された時に北東（鬼門）の守護として遷座されたと思われ、その後1513年に龍頭山へ掛川城が再構築された際にその北東の今の場所に遷座されたと思われます。 神社は小高い小山の上にあるので石段を昇りますが、石段に若干の...

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
