Tamaoya Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Tamaoya Shrine, Ichinomiya, Suo Province In the "Nihon Shoki" completed in 720, it is said that Emperor Keikō prayed at this shrine when he conquered the Kumaso. The enshrined deity is Tamaoya no Mikoto, the ancestor of the people who make magatama and tubular beads, and is said to be the god who created the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three sacred treasures. In addition, there is a Japanese chicken called "Kuro Kashiwa🐓" in the precincts. It is said that Kuro Kashiwa gathered the Tokoyo Naganari birds and made them sing when Amaterasu Omikami disappeared. It has a pretty solid body, and its cry seems to be quite long. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Tamasu Shrine ꕥAddress: 1690 Osaki, Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚌🚏General Medical Center → About 20 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #shrine #shrine tour #shrines and temples #shrine worship #Yamaguchi Prefecture #Yamaguchi Prefecture tourism
