Tottori No Sato

Hachiman Sha shrine in the back of the picture book building

Original Text

There is an information board with the word of Tottori no Sato standing at Hachimansha, which is right next to the Oshima Ehonkan. There are still many rice fields in the area, but there is no atmosphere where swans are likely to fly. If you ask someone who lived in the past, you may think of the scene at that time.

Now it's not a place to be, it's just a vacant lot.

Many poems in Kojiki have made this place a poem as a place where swans fly. Not only during the Kojiki era, but until about 50 years ago, swans flew around here every year as winter approached. When the swan came, the work outside ended and the work was done in the barn.When the swan returned to Siberia, it was spring and the farmers came to work outside the new year. Swans are called Tottori in old language nationwide, but in this area they were called Hisashi 々. ...

it's a famous place, right?

Since I visited Imizu during my trip, I came to visit sightseeing spots. However, it was a place that I wondered if this could be a famous place. It is said to be the oldest place name in Toyama Prefecture described in Kojiki, but its history is empty, and I even feel sad about the quiet atmosphere where no one is visiting. I'm quite disappointed.
