Tsuma Shrine

4.0

"A 10-minute drive or three kilometers from the Saito Interchange on the Higashi-Kyushu Expressway. Dedicated to the princess goddess Konohanasakuya-hime-no-Mikoto, the shrine's name appears in ancient ""Shoku Nihon Koki"" Japanese history text, as well as in the register of shrines in the ancient ""Engishiki"" law book. According to legend, Ninigi-no-Mikoto fell in love with the princess at first site and held a wedding ceremony, thus becoming known as a god of love and marriage, while the princess safely gave birth to triplets and in turn became known as a goddess of safe childbirth and childrearing. During the Koisai Festival held on July 7th, the wedding ceremony is recreated in an unusual ritual which has been conducted continuously for around five hundred years."

ハート形の絵馬

Reviewed : 2022.01.17

天照大神は孫のニニギノミコトを高天原から地上に遣わし（天孫降臨）、乱れた国を治めました。その妻が絶世の美女とされるコノハナサクヤヒメで、二人は日本で初めて結婚式を挙げたとされています。都萬神社にはこの神様が祀られているので、幸せを求める女性から篤く信仰されています。境内には縁結びを求めてハート形の絵馬が奉納されていました。

樹木の息吹を感じる神社生命力を感じます。こんなに自然のエネルギーを感じるところはないです。トトロが出てきそう。

ご祭神は木花開耶姫命（コノハナサクヤヒメノミコト）です。コノハナサクヤヒメは、甘酒を作ってお乳替わりに飲ませたともいわれ、「日本酒発祥の碑」も境内に立っています。
