Akagi-jinja Shrine

4.0

The Akagi-jinja Shrine is located at the top of Mt. Akagi. It has been known as a mountain where gods have resided since ancient times. Mt. Akagi is the main enshrined deity and Akagi Daimyojin is worshiped as the god of the lake. On the first Saturday of August, the Soke, or Grand Master, in charge of Ogasawara style Japanese horseback archery etiquette and his disciples hold a Japanese archery dedicatory match. At night, paper lanterns are set adrift in a ceremony called Toronagashi accompanied by a firework display and every year many tourists visit the festival. The Autumn Festival held on the national Sports day in October is also very popular.

湖畔の神社

赤城山の山々に囲まれた大沼の湖畔にあり、まだ観光シーズン前だった事もあってか、静かで落着くこじんまりとした神社です。天気が良いと湖と空の青と神社の赤が対比となって映えます。

大沼の辺りにありとても清々しい環境にある神社です。天気の良い日に参拝したのでとても気分が良くなりました。標高も高く空気が澄んでいます。青空に赤の本殿が際立っていました。冬は雪深くなりそうな場所ですので、春から秋の参拝がベストなのでしょうね。良い時期に参拝したと思います。
