Hirohata Shrine

A small shrine.

Original Text

It is a small shrine in a residential area, about a 3-minute walk from JR Aichi Mitsu Station. There is also a Toyokawa City West District Civic Center in the precincts, and the parking lot is shared. This shrine was a village shrine during the Muromachi period and is now under the direct control of the Tokugawa family in the 1600s. It was a small shrine, and the Tokaido Main Line runs right behind it, but it was a quiet place.

A shrine right from the station

Original Text

There is a shrine just off JR Mitsu station. The surrounding area is an old-fashioned residential area. I think it is also a shrine that is the guardian deity of such a village. When I visited, local parishioners were gathering at the shrine office. (It doesn't seem to be at festivals or events?) In the middle, I visited and visited the shrine. The shrine seems to be a shrine with a long history and history, and the hall of worship is also very splendid. There is also a parking lot, so you can drive!

Nice atmosphere

Original Text

The deity of Hirohata Shrine is Emperor Ojin and is the parent of Emperor Nintoku. This shrine was once Hachimangu. Although the shrine is small, it seems to have a history. Perhaps there was a lot of flood damage around here, the height of the foundation of the shrine has been raised considerably, so you can go up a few steps on the stone stairs to put money in. The guardian dog in front of the shrine is Okazaki type, and it is rugged. There was a nice atmosphere in the quiet precincts.

"The village community, the Guangxu shrine"

Original Text

It is a shrine near JR Aichi Mitsu Station. It was a bigger shrine than I expected, and the temple sign said "Murasha Hirohata Shrine". I was surprised that there was a rugged concrete building, a public facility, in a corner of the large precincts.
