お金のご利益があるとか、昔の札に掲載されている３６０余歳とか云う物語以前の段階の空想の神さん？武内宿禰とか云う存在の者？神かな？が色々と何かしたとか・・・全ては空想の作り話の次元のことです。と、云うことでとてもご利益などがあるとは信じ難いので・・・余り熱心には拝みませんでした。だからいつも金欠病でピィピィ言っているのかな？本殿への石段は実際は大したことないんだが、下から見ると一直線で、途中の数か所...

- Tottori Tohaku-gun Yurihamacho Miyauchi 754
- The shrine is dedicated to Takehazuchi-no-mikoto and Shimoteruhime-no-mikoto, gods of safe delivery, etc. Although the date of establishment is not known, it is thought that the shrine was built to worship Takehazuchi-no-mikoto, the ancestral god of textiles, since there were many Yamato people who made their living by weaving in this area. The shrine is still crowded with visitors praying for safe delivery on the day of the dog.

鳥取県東伯郡湯梨浜町宮内の東郷池近くにある神社。 伯耆国（ほうきのくに）一之宮 倭文（しとり）神社、とネットで確認して漸く読めました。 駐車場、参拝料は無料です。 一之宮って事でそれなりの広さを予想してたんですが、こじんまりとしてました。 結構しっとりとした山林の中で、静寂な雰囲気が厳かな感じです。 平日の夕方でしたが、参拝客は他に居ませんでした。

金持神社の駐車場脇に札所があり、日野町観光物産館の売店として運営されていました。狭い店内ですが、中には神社由緒の品々が並んでおり、土産物としては十分の品揃えと云えそうでした。 参拝者が多い神社で、店内も混みあっていました。

古事記より、いざなみが火の神様を産む際に子宮が焼けて死んで黄泉の国へ行ったあと、次に火の神様を産んだのが下照姫です。そのとき子宮は丈夫だったため安産の神様となりました。ぜひ産石に腰かけてください。社の後ろには男根が祀ってありますが、奥に行くとさらにリアルな発掘された石があり、穴場です。
