    (Translated by Google) 2022.3.21.Visit It's about a 12-minute walk from Joshu Ichinomiya Station, but I want to visit other shrines in Tomioka this time, so get off at Joshu Tomioka Station. Rent a bicycle at the tourist information center (free!) About 15 minutes? Arrive at. On the stone steps, the red of Otorii is bright. If you go further, there is a gate, and next is the stone steps that go down. The worship hall and the main hall are enshrined just behind the tower gate. Overall, it should be called a reddish color, or rather, it is unified with a neutral color that looks like grayish white added to vermillion. After visiting the shrine, please write your red stamp in the original red stamp book at the shrine office. I am very satisfied with the well-balanced and beautiful typeface, even though the letters are written quickly. The goshuin book is embroidered with the motif of the main building of Nukizen Shrine, and the firstfruits fee of 1,500 yen includes a goshuin. Ichinomiya in other prefectures seems to have a similar firstfruits fee, so we recommend starting with Ichinomiya for the goshuin. This shrine is a rare location where you can climb up and down. The left side is elevated, and it is rare to be able to look down on the roof of the shrine from above. Actually, when I was in high school, I was able to use the slopes and stone steps at the shrine where I was trained for club activities a long time ago. By the side of the torii gate on the slope side, the cherry blossoms that were beginning to partially open were beautiful. Next, we will finally aim for the difficult Myogi Shrine. (Original) 2022.3.21.参拝 上州一ノ宮駅から徒歩12分程だが、今回富岡市内の他の神社も廻りたいので上州富岡駅で下車。観光案内所でレンタサイクルを借り(無料!)15分位?で到着。 石段の上、大鳥居の赤が鮮やか。更に進むと門があり、次は下りの石段。楼門のすぐ奥に拝殿・本殿が鎮座。全体的に臙脂色と呼ぶべきか、朱に灰白色を足した様な中間色で統一され、飾り金具の金や彫物の多数の彩色と調和が取れ品格有る美しさ。 参拝後、社務所にてオリジナル御朱印帳に御朱印を書き入れ頂く。 ササッと書かれた文字は、一気に書き上げた割にバランスが良く美しい書体に大満足。御朱印帳は貫前神社の社殿をモチーフにした刺繍で、初穂料1,500円は御朱印の書き入れ込み。他県の一之宮も同様の初穂料が多い様なので、御朱印は一之宮スタートがおすすめ。 この神社、登って降る珍しい立地。左側が高くなっていて、上から社殿の屋根を見下ろせるのも珍しい。 実は高校時代、部活のトレーニングでお世話になった神社で、坂や石段を使わせて頂いたのもはるか昔。坂側の鳥居脇には、一部開き始めた桜が綺麗だった。 次は、いよいよ難関妙義神社を目指す。

    Beautiful shrine among old cedar trees

    I think it is one of the “must see” locations in the Tomioka area. Usually uncrowded, you can enjoy the unusual placement of the shrine, down a long flight of stone steps. There are large old trees and well maintained decorative building to appreciate. The calming, centering feeling you receive from such places with our without spiritual belief is certainly worthwhile. Enjoy walking up the main stone steps in the front. Bring your camera.

    The shrine was neat. It was the first time where I had to walk down the stairs to visit the shrine instead of walking up a bunch of stairs. Its very small area. Not many people there on a Monday afternoon. The shrine is red. A giant Tori gate is near the entrance.

    (Translated by Google) First visit on August 31, 2022. I stretched my legs after visiting Myogi Shrine. Since I accessed by car, I can arrive at the Otorii without climbing the stairs. In addition, there is a free parking space in front of the precincts, which is convenient. The enshrined deities are Futsunushi no Kami and Hime Okami, who are considered to be the Ichinomiya of Ueno Province. Now, Since it was a big deal, I decided to return to the Otorii once and visit after passing through the Otorii. This Otorii is quite splendid and is worth seeing. Straight ahead from there is the main gate, which is the entrance to the approach to the downhill. Looking down, there was a tower gate at the entrance of the precincts, and the tower gate was also splendidly made, and you could feel the history, or you could say that there was a solemn atmosphere. When you go down and bow once and go through the two-storied gate, you will see the hall of worship painted in vermillion with vivid decorations in front of you. As soon as I finished my visit, I took a closer look at the main hall at the back of the worship hall, which was also beautifully decorated and was worth seeing. It is recommended. It is written that this shrine was built about 400 years ago in the Tokugawa era, and it is considered an important cultural property, so I understand how it was worshiped. At the end, I got a goshuin written directly, and I was able to visit very well. Thank you very much. (Original) 2022年8月31日初訪。妙義神社参拝後に足を延ばしました。 車でアクセスしましたので大鳥居の場所までは階段を上らずに到着できます。また、境内の前に無料の駐車スペースがありますので便利です。 ご祭神は、経津主神(ふつぬしのかみ)と姫大神(ひめおおかみ)の2柱で、上野の国の一宮とされています。 さて、 せっかくなので、いったん大鳥居のところまで戻り大鳥居をくぐってからの参拝としました。この大鳥居はなかなか立派ですので一見の価値があります。そこからまっすぐ正面に下りの参道の入り口となる総門があります、結構な長さの下り階段でいわゆる下りの宮と呼ばれる特徴的なものです。見下ろす先に境内の入り口の楼門が控えており、楼門も立派な作りで歴史を感じるというか、厳粛な雰囲気が漂っていました。 下りきって一礼し楼門をくぐると、目前に朱塗りに鮮やかな装飾が施された拝殿があります。早速参拝を済ませじっくりと見て回りました、拝殿の奥に本殿がこちらも素晴らしい装飾が施されており見ごたえがありました、本殿の周りを1周できますので、角度を変えながら見学することをお勧めします。こちらの社殿は徳川時代の 創建で約400年ほど前に建てられたと記されており、重要文化財とされているとのことで、いかに崇敬を集めていたことが良く分かりました。最後に御朱印を直書きでいただき、とても良い参拝ができました。ありがとうございました。

    上野国一宮の貫前(ぬきさき)神社に一昨年8月に行きました。上州一ノ宮駅から徒歩15分くらいです。入口に石碑があり坂を登ると、ちょっと息があがりました。坂を登りきると登り階段があり、また、息が上がりました。総門をくぐると、今度は下り階段でした。日本三大下り宮と言われています。楼門をくぐり、拝殿にて感謝の気持ちで参拝。建物は鮮やかな漆塗りで素晴らしく、本殿は、貫前造という独特な建築様式で建てられています。直書きの御朱印を頂きました。

    It's a cool shrine! Very peaceful when it's not New Year's/some big shrine holiday. And it's close to the train station, which is convenient if you have good timing with the train haha.

    神社への坂道は車で登れます。駐車場があります。または、横の一般の坂道を登っても沢山車が置けます。 階段を上ったらまたすぐ下ります。面白い階段です。段は奥行きもあり平らで、勾配も普通です。疲れるほど段数はありません。 書き置きの御朱印を500円で買いました。 宝物館はギリギリ間に合わなくて(3時まで。入館300円)残念でした。 青空に真っ直ぐに伸びる何本もの大杉が見ていて気持ち良かったです。

🫤 It has been many years since it was listed as a World Heritage Site, but in 2022 I finally visited it for the first time. There was also a story about Eiichi Shibusawa in the 2021 Taiga drama, so I was interested and went to see it, but... Even though there are valuable materials, photos from the...
