Shizume-jinja Shrine

It was impressive that the family crest was carved on the decoration of the shrine.

In the early Edo period, it is said that it is a shrine enshrined by Katori Shrine in Chiba Prefecture with the Lord of Tsutsuzu, "Futsunushi no Kami" to calm the plague of Narai-juku. The family crest of Sawa is carved into the decoration of the shrine, and I thought that I had never seen it anywhere else, probably because I hadn't noticed it before. After visiting here, I went sightseeing in Narai-juku.

This [main shrine] is surrounded by a covered shop with a wooden fence. Every year on August 12th, only the "Annual Festival (Evening Festival August 11th)" opens the door of the covered shop and you can see [main shrine]. It seems to be a shrine of a rare form

This [main shrine] is surrounded by a wooden fence, and only the "Annual Festival (Evening Festival August 11)" on August 12 every year, the door of the cover is opened and you can see [main shrine]. It seems to be a rare form of shrine. Therefore, if you visit other than the "Experienced Festival", you may not be able to touch the landscape like a shrine, and it may be a little ｶﾞｯｶﾘ. On the other hand, [Kando] has a new one, and [Kando]'s [Kando] is [Golden Ball (Property?)], and [Kando]'s [Kando] is [Children (...)]

The view from the shrine is very good

It is about a 20-minute walk from Narai Station. It is located in the back along the old Nakasendo. ２０２０ Year １０ I came at the end of the month. Since it is on a hill, you can see the scenery of Narai-juku and see the autumn leaves from the torii gate. It will be a quiet shrine because there are not many tourists.

A quiet shrine just ahead of Narai-juku and Kosatsuba. Did you visit when entering Narai-juku? It's probably the guardian of the post station. It's a small shrine, but it's a place where you can feel the history.

At the end of Narai juku

It is located on the edge of the torii pass. In the Edo period, I think I continued to see people 々 who came and went on Nakasendo. It takes about 30 minutes on foot from here to the station and Kiso Ohashi Bridge.
