    広い境内を持つ宇佐神宮には、いくつもの摂社・末社がありました。それらのお社にもお参りしながら、宇佐神宮の本殿にあたる「上宮」へと向かう石段を登っていきました。上宮の入り口ともいえる西大門の少し手前の右手にあったのが、若宮神社です。 摂社としては本殿のすぐ前に鎮座していますし、大きく立派なお社だなあと思ってお参りしました。この神社は、大鷦鷯命（おおささぎのみこと）など五柱の神々が祀られています...

    Oita Nakatsu-shi Yabakei Machi Miyazono 407
    "This Shinto shrine can be reached by going west a short distance on the road in front of the Miyazono Community Center; the shrine will be visible on the right hand side. The shrine's office and the Kumohachimangu Culture Hall are located a little to the east beyond some private homes and farm fields. The shrine is dedicated to the gods Kumonoyahata-no-Okami and Myoken-Okami. A sacred tree which once stood on the grounds known as the ""Thousand Year Cedar"" was said to have been planted in 973, the year when the shrine was founded; even today, its mighty stump, now on display, exudes a sense of life and power and is said to grant safety and protection. Also of note is the shrine's strong connection to the Japanese mythical water goblins called kappa - for example, instead of the typical stone lion-dogs, shrine visitors are greeted by a pair of guardian kappa statues. During the shrine's annual festival on July 29, a music and dance performance called the Kappa-gaku is held which has been designated an Intangible Folk-Cultural Property by the prefecture."

    ちょっと長めの階段を上がると、閑静な社が見えてくる。時間があれば立ち寄ってみても良いかな。長めの階段を登れない人は，裏手の車道で社の近くまで行ける。境内には稲荷神社などもあるので，社を、グルリと一周すれば参拝できる。

around-area-map

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
