Tado Shrine

4.0

A Shinto shrine located a 10 minute drive from the Kuwanahigashi Interchange whose history dates back over 1,500 years. The shrine's origins are believed to lie in the building of a shrine here by Emperor Yuryaku in the latter half of the fifth century. The deity enshrined in the main shrine is Amatsuhikone no Mikoto, the son of Sume Omikami. The shrine was destroyed in a wartime fire in 1572. After being rebuilt in the Edo period, the shrine experienced such a revival in popularity, it was said that if one were going to visit the famous Ise Jingu shrine, one must also visit this one. The Tado Festival, held in May, attracts many visitors who come to watch an event in which gallant men ride horse up a steep, two meter near vertical precipice; the number and the order in which riders surmount the precipice foretells how good the harvest will be that year.

動物虐待を見せないで

Reviewed : 2023.05.09

多度の上げ馬で坂を転げ落ちたり壁に激突したり流血、骨折で痙攣する馬などを見て恐怖を覚えました。何より馬を取り囲んで殴ったり抑え込んだりする男性たちの怒号がものすごく、子供が怖がって泣き出し、その場を離れてもずっと口をききませんでした。あんなものを伝統などと見せ物にする神経が全くわかりません。二度とあの神社には行きません。

アマテラスの三男アマツヒコネを祀る古社です。多度山の自然に覆われるようにひっそりと佇む神社は規模は大きくないですが、霊験あらたかな感じがします。有名な上げ馬神事はとても迫力があるそうで一度見てみたいと思いました。

初めて行きましたが川の水も綺麗ですごく良いところでした。こどもは白い馬に興奮して人参を投げていました。駐車場も近く、神社内もそこまで広くないので良かったです！
