諏訪湖の御神渡り

"God Morning" that appeared on Lake Suwa for the first time in 5 years

Differences between the temperature between night and day, the ice of Lake Suwa repeatedly expanded and expanded, and the surface of the lake rises.
Explaining only the phenomenon, so, especially in Lake Suwa, there is a history and people's thoughts that does not work alone.

 

 

God's love road "Orijin crossing"

A long time ago, Suwa had two gods, Tatomina Katanomikoto (male god) and Yasakatomenomikoto (goddess).
The two of usSuwa Taisha ShrineI lived in a good company, but one day it became a big thing and it became a big deal.
Yasakatomenomikoto has daily necessitiesSuwa Taisha ShrineI went out to the shrine.

After that, the two gods lived in the upper shrine (Suwa City) and Shimosuwa (Shimosuwa Town) across Lake Suwa.
The god of the company sometimes steals the eyes of the villagers (the residents of Suwa) and go to see the goddess of the shrine.
The way to go is the "god crossing".

So, if you do not officially recognize that you are the path of God, it is not a "god crossing".
And the fact that the "god crossing" was created means
It means that the shrine's male god was able to meet the shrine goddess safely.


By the way, it is Yatsurugi Shrine that holds the admission ceremony that certifies this "god migration", and is now in the Owada area,
It was once located in Takashima on the shore of Lake Suwa. (Takashima Castle(高島城)I moved to Owada with the village to Owada because of the construction of the castle.
At Yatsurugo Shrine, it has been a record of the gods since the Muromachi period, and the record book "Book bookIs designated as a cultural property of the city

Here in the myths I mentioned earlierKamisuwa OnsenIs not irrelevant.

Yasakato Menomikoto has hand -handed itemsSuwa Taisha ShrineWhen moving to a shrine
I brought the hot water used for makeup in cotton, but on the way, the potapota and the drops dripped.
The hot water came out from the place where the drop touched the soil.
It is the currentKamisuwa Onsen・ It is called Shimosuwa Onsen.

Because the lotion of the goddess is springing up as a hot spring,Kamisuwa OnsenThe Shimosuwa Onsen is also called "Beauty hot water"
You may be able to say.
