▼ Kaori's Report

金丸八幡宮 那須神社2

The main highlight here is the vermilion gate (romon).
It gives the shrine a typical Hachiman style.

The main hall feels calm and quiet.
You can feel the still air around it.

Behind the main hall is Kanemaru Mound (Kanemaru-zuka).
People say that a golden sphere was buried there when the mound was made.

They sell charms for good luck with money, so I bought one.
It is shaped like a golden sphere and feels like it might help me save money.


(Kaori’s Highlights)

I did not know about the link with Nasu-no-Yoichi.
People believe that the "Hachiman Daibosatsu" he called on when he prayed, "Namu Hachiman Daibosatsu, deities of my homeland Shimotsuke: Nikko Gongen, Utsunomiya, Nasu Onsen Daimyojin, please let me shoot the center of that fan," was this Nasu Shrine, Kanemaru Hachimangu.

The money-luck charm I got at Nasu Shrine looks very strong.
It was shining brightly in gold.

At the roadside station "Nasu Yoichi no Sato" near the shrine, I found a drink called "Nasu Jinja Ouen" (Support Nasu Shrine).
It is a word play: "Jinja Ale" sounds like "ginger ale".
The pun is simple but fun.
