    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Honmachi 12-1
    This shrine stands atop a small hill in a corner of the Bikan Historical Quarter. The land is connected with the family of Achi no Omi, who came to Japan from the Korean Peninsula during the time of Emperor Ojin and helped develop Kibi Province, the predecessor to modern-day Okayama, with new technologies. The shrine grounds are home to the largest Akebono wisteria tree in the country; the best time to visit is when the tree is in bloom, from the end of April through May. The shrine sells Achi no Fujimori charms which contain wisteria seeds and are said to bring long life and good health.

    Stunning views over Kurashiki. It’s worth the climb up the stairs! Follow the path from one end of the hilltop to the other! Beautiful cherry blossoms, very picturesque!

    岡山旅行中、どこ行こっかってなってたまたま見つけたこちらの神社。 金比羅さんと両方お参りするといいとあったので、参詣。 車で山道を登る途中、歩いて登る人もいて、なんで車で行かないのかなぁと思っていたら、上の駐車場はほぼ満車！ こんな大きな神社とは思わず気軽に立ち寄ってしまったw すごい行列してる所があって見てみたら「岡山県下ここにしかない推命おみくじ」とあって、気になって並んでみる。 こ...

    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Shimotsui 1-13-16
    A six-minute drive from the Kojima Interchange on the Seto Chuo Expressway. Perched on a hill on the western side of Shimotsui Port, this shrine is on the grounds of the former Nagahama Castle. It was founded during the Muromachi period as Nagahama-miya Shrine to house the local tutelary god of the castle but then in the Edo period the god Gion Okami was transferred to the shrine and the name of the shrine changed to Gion Shrine. As a guardian of the sea, Kitamaebune shipping route sailors donated the tamagaki fence that surrounds the shrine as a prayer for safety and it bears the names of the sailors. The grounds of the shrine offer a great view point of both the Seto Ohashi Bridge and the port. Around here, you will find many monuments engraved with poems about Shimotsui and Setouchi composed by poets and novelists who visited this town.

    須佐之男命を祭神とする古式に則る神社。境内には昭和天皇を始めとする歌碑句碑がたくさんある。瀬戸大橋と瀬戸内海の眺めは絶景。

    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Hayashi 684

    無数の種類の御守とか外語表示の説明とか、全部買えばいくらかかるの？と云うくらいのおみくじやおまもり・・・その上、「流行りの(セキュリティの甘さで少しも流行ってないが)」ペイペイでの支払いとか・・・わたし的にはここは全く無縁と思われる程度の場所でした。境内も建物も、もっと綺麗にしておかないと・・・色々と由緒はあるのでしょうが、これでは再拝は個人的にはあり得ない。規模的にもわが居住地の古都京都の地域の...

    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Tamashima Chuocho 1-12-1

    神社はいい感じです。鳥居をくぐって急坂を登ったところに駐車場。行きも帰りもバックでの切り返しが必要なので、運転に自信のない方は車で登らないほうが無難です。

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
