Kotohira Jinja Shrine

Shrine
This ancient temple apparently began with a temple dedicated to three deities as a protective spirit during early fishing market restrictions by Hokkaido settler Takadaya Kahei. As Hokkaido was opened to settlement, the shrine gathered more and more reverence as a guardian spirit of household and family safety, as well as fisheries, animal husbandry, and commerce. Most years, August sees its grand festival, the city's biggest event. It's a parade of beautiful portable shrines, with over 200 hundred lined up under the sky. People come to join from all over the country to join in this symbol of Nemuro's summer.

    ノサップ号の観光バスで今年も訪問しました。館内に過去の例大祭のビデオ放映がありますが、かなり規模が大きいです。コロナで中止になっていましたが今年は復活できそうで、また来たいですね。入り口に展望台があって、そこからの眺めが気に入ってます。
  • 高田屋嘉兵衛の銅像があります。

    観光バスのノサップ号で行きました。立派なお神輿があります。展望台からの眺めがいいです。神社自体は小さいですが入り口にある高田屋嘉兵衛の銅像が目立ちます。
  • 見晴らしの良い場所⛩

    道路側の鳥居を潜って参道を上がって行くと境内となっていました。参道の途中には記念碑等も立ち、根室由来の歴史を物語っているものもありました。境内に進むと金文字の扁額が輝く拝殿が正面に立ち、地元の参拝者も多いようでした。
