    This shrine in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture is famous for marriage and enshrines the gods Susano-no-mikoto and Inatahime-no-mikoto. The three-paneled Itae Chakushoku Shinzo pictures (wall painting in the honden) in the treasure storage room has been designated as an important cultural property. On the grounds are many popular spots for women, including the Meoto-sugi (coupled cryptomeria trees), Meoto-tsubaki (coupled camellia) and Kagami-no-ike (mirror pond), where the appearance of a suitable marriage partner is predicted by the speed of which a piece of Japanese paper sinks after a coin is placed on top.

    Famous for relationships (marriage) and its Japanese legends background. A beautiful holy place. There’re penis statue.

    Shimane Matsue-shi Shinjicho Kamikimachi 1801

    駐車場有り。 社務所に人もおり、境内は清浄。 狛犬ではなく、狛牛。 ご由緒によると、菅原道真の父是善が先祖の野見宿禰のお墓参りに来た時に、世話をした女性との間に生まれたのが菅原道真との事。 そのお墓が現存してるとは。 ただ驚く。

    かつて島根県には意宇郡（おうぐん）と言う郡があったそうです。 その意宇郡があった地域に意宇六社と言う素敵な6つの神社がある事を初めて知りました。その6社は熊野大社、真名井神社、揖夜神社、六所神社、八重垣神社、神魂神社です。 この六社を巡拝する「六社参り」は現時点で熊野大社、八重垣神社、神魂神社まで巡っていたので、この眞名井神社で4つ目でした。 実は意宇六社の存在を知らなかったんで、たまたま4つ目...

    Shimane Matsue-shi Higashiizumocho Adakae 588

    土曜日の午前中に参拝。 道路沿の鳥居を車でくぐりる。 駐車場は5-6台分。 無人。 日本三大船神事の「ホーランエンヤ」が有名な神社。 ご祭神は阿太加夜奴志多岐喜比賣命。 神社のご由緒とは違うが、口伝では宗像三女の次女「多伎津姫＝八千矛王の妻」の屋敷跡という。他古代史では度々登場する。 神紋は亀甲に有と、古くからの出雲大社のもの。 住宅街の中で川が流れており、なるほどという感じがする。 境内は広くは...

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
