    Oita Pref. Usashi Minamiusa 2859
    This Shinto shrine is famous for being the head shrine of all 40 thousand Hachiman shrines in Japan dedicated to Emperor Ojin as the god Hachiman in a syncretic belief system which combines elements of Buddhism. Enshrining Hachiman as well as Hime and Empress Jingu, the shrine was founded in 725. The grounds are spacious, and the main shrine building, a National Treasure, is divided between an upper building located on a hill and a lower building located at the base. The first hall of the upper building is believed to provide luck with money and business; the second and third are believed to provide luck with love and easy childbirth.

    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...

    A Shinto shrine located in Osada, Nakatsu City. Founded some 1,200 years ago, the main shrine building is called the “outer shrine,” while the “inner shrine” is a pond called Misumi Pond which has been deemed a “go-shintai” or physical repository of a god. The shrine’s grounds have been designated a Historic Site as well as a Natural Monument by the prefecture. The current shrine gate, built by the samurai Hosokawa Tadaoki, has been designated a National Important Cultural Property.

    この神社は歴史が古く由緒ある神社と聞いています。入り口の駐車スペースに車を止めて徒歩五分です。また薦神社には大きな池があり白鳥が泳いでいます。

    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."

    Oita Usa Ajimumachi Tsumagake 203

    安心院の盆地を囲む山上にある、広い敷地の神社です。忠魂碑や学校跡などもあり、松本清張とご縁もあるようでした。 平成21年(2009年)6月に設置された「足一の印岩」の案内看板の矢印に従い進むと、腰まで伸びた笹などの雑草が道を覆い隠し、それでもどんどん川に向かって下っていきましたが、さすがに足元が危なくなり途中で引き返しました。非常に残念です。「足一の印岩(復元)４ｍ下の川の中」と書かれた案内板が...

Oita Areas

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.
