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。

昔ながらの旅籠の看板が出ています。岡部宿は江戸から21番目の宿場町だったそうです。天保の大火で焼失したそうで、再建されましたので江戸後期の建造物らしいです。現在は、国登録文化財であり”歴史資料館”にもなっています。台所には、昔のままの御釜やお櫃、お膳などが並べられています。町人の部屋と武士の宿泊する棟は別になっています。やはり、町人の部屋とは雰囲気と質もかなり違いますね。旅館の裏にはお庭...

三国神社参拝の後、車を走行中、極楽寺の案内に導かれ、初めて参拝しました。紫陽花の咲く時期ではないが、鎌倉の寺のように、紫陽花の時期には、観光客が沢山、来訪するそうです。小生の家でも、三十本位紫陽花を植えたが、邪魔になって撤去しまったので、紫陽花の咲く時期に、何が何でも来なければならないという拘りもないので、境内をゆっくりと散策出来ました、観光客には、紫陽花の咲く六月頃こられれば、ベストだと思います...

Shizuoka Iwata-shi Ikeda 330

"This old temple is known as a great place for wisteria. Known casually as ""Yuya Temple"", it has a deep relationship with Yuya Gozen, adored by Taira no Munemori, son of Taira no Kiyomori. Appearing in the Noh song ""Yuya"" and in the Tale of the Heike, Yuya Gozen offered a prayer for her mother and then planted what is said to be ""Nagafuji"", which is estimated to be 800 years old and has become a source of fame. With bunches of flowers over one meter, the blooming of this outstanding Nagafuji is an awe-inspiring sight. Around the peak season from mid-April to early May, many tourists visit to get a look at ""Yuya no Nagafuji"" and the 17 wisteria trees here."

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...

Shizuoka Areas

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.
