Misode Tenmangu Shrine

Shrine
Located in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, the Misode Tenmangu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. Legend says that in 901, Michizane, who was relegated to Dazaifu, stopped by Onomichi on his way to Dazaifu and gave away one kimono sleeve as thanks for the warm hospitality he received there. In the grounds of the shrine are 55 stone steps, each one a block of stone five meters in length, some rare pieces of formative art and spectacular views overlooking the city. The shrine is also known as the setting for the film, I Are You, You Am Me, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, and as the stage for some animations, which is why it has become so popular with tourists.

    昔、映画「転校生」の舞台となっていた場所です。尾道に来たついでに立ち寄ってみました。猫の細道も近いせいか、猫が戯れていました。ほのぼのして景色がよい場所です。

    「転校生」の55段のロケ地にもなっています。石段は一本石で作られていますが、最後の55段目だけは石が継いであります。確かめに来てください
