Original Text

The largest festival in Joetsu, the Gion Festival, was held, and the approach to the shrine, which was built in the Edo period by the Ujigami of Naoetsu, and the granite stone that exceeds １００ｍ, reminds me of the prosperity of Naoetsu. If you exit the north exit of the station and go straight, you will find the entrance to the approach. The shrine can be seen ahead. Turn left at the signal of the old ８ in front of the entrance to the approach and go to Gochi Kokubunji Temple, and you can't enter the shrine from the side. Passing through the torii gate, there was a shrine office on the left and Akiba Shrine (the God of fire prevention) on the right. It's a day without events, so ...

It's a normal shrine on a scale.

It's a ４～５ minute walk from JR Naoetsu Station, but I think it's about 2 minutes because I'm a bicycle myself. I think it's easy to understand because there is a large stone pillar called Yasaka Shrine along the street. However, it's a little disappointing that there are only obscene shops from the stone pillars to the shrine. There are several shrines, but since the shrine in front was "Goura and Karahana crest", I thought this was Yasaka Shrine and worshiped it. There are Akiba Shrine and Inari Shrine in the precincts.

It is on the left side, about 3 minutes straight on the station front street from Naoetsu Station. The year of its founding is unknown. The main deity is Susao. It is beneficial for work luck and prosperity of business. The stone monument at the entrance of the approach is dug as "Yahashinsha". The current main shrine was built in 1721 and the hall of worship was built in 1843. It is a shrine that is the stage of the Naoetsu Gion Festival. I visited on the evening of January Saturday, when it was snowy. The lanterns were lit, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the precincts where no one was.
