Koube no Miya Yomo Shrine

Shrine
This shrine is affectionately referred to as “atama no miya-san” or “okashira-san” because of the benefits it is said to confer upon the upper parts of the body, particularly the head. According to legend, the skull of Karahashi Chujo Mitsumori was enshrined here in 1191. Many visit to pray for academic achievement, mercantile wisdom, healing for head injuries and illnesses, especially during exam season. The water of the “Koube fountain” close to the main building is said to grant wisdom, and the nearby “Koube stone” is said to heal illness. The closest station is Ouchiyama Station.

  • 人の顔に見える岩が面白い

    何人もの人の顔が浮かび上がったように見える岩が不思議です。頭の神様は日本でここしかないと言われています。
  • 受験の神様

    三重県で受験といえばここ。桑名や伊賀からもここを訪れる。近くに清流も流れ、気持ちもリフレッシュできる。比較的いつもすいているので、神社+自然も満喫できる。
  • 頭之水

    神戸の水ではありません。頭(こうべ)之水です。これでコーヒーを淹れると結構おいしかったりします。小さな社ですが、年明け以降は受験生家族で賑わいます。豊富なお守りや、洋菓子店と組んだ「頭福(こうふく)のお菓子」など、なかなか商売熱心でもあります。なお、当家における過去のご利益は「並」クラスでした。
