Yasue Hachiman Shrine Kanazawa Suitengu
"Known as one of the ""Five Kanazawa Shrines"" and as the birthplace of Kaga Hachiman Okiagari roly-poly dolls, this Shinto shrine is also the only shrine in the prefecture to be dedicated to the god Suiten (in addition to being dedicated to Hachiman). The shrine was founded in 939. Located in Konohana-machi, a neighborhood which was once occupied by many swordsmiths, the shrine was once used for sword christening ceremonies, and accordingly it is also known as the ""Swordsmith Hachiman."" During the Edo period, the Maeda clan, which ruled Kaga Domain, would come here to pray for recovery when disease struck. The shrine's Kaga Hachiman Okiagari dolls are modeled after the image of the god Hachiman just after he was born when he was wrapped in crimson swaddling clothes. Images of the dolls are also painted on the shrine's charms and ema votive tablets, and many people purchase these and the tolls to pray for protection from misfortune, recovery from disease, and the health of their children."

- 長い歴史が
- 金沢駅からの距離はそんなに遠くはないですが、あまり観光地エリアではないのでわざわざ行く感じにはなるかも。創建は平安時代だそうで、長い歴史を誇ります。金沢水天宮も同じ境内にあり、安産などのご利益はどちらもあるようなので、そちらのお詣りをするにはいいかもしれません。
