Akagi Shrine in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 This shrine is located on Kotorigashima Island, which juts out into Lake Onuma near the summit of Mount Akagi. The sacred object is Mount Akagi The enshrined deity is Princess Akagi (Akagi Daimyojin) It is the head shrine of all Akagi shrines across the country. Right next to the lake is a magnificent vermilion-painted shrine building, which is very conspicuous. Perhaps the weather on the day we went was good, as there was a fresh breeze and the water surface sparkled with light, making for a pleasant visit. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Akagi Shrine ꕥAddress: 4-2 Akagiyama, Fujimi-cho, Maebashi-shi, Gunma ꕥAccess: 🚘 Akagi IC → approx. 34 minutes ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Traveling with me #Akagi Shrine #Mount Akagi

Akagi Shrine is said to be the head shrine of about 300 shrines across the country. (There are various theories) It is enshrined on Kotorigashima Island on the east shore of Lake Onuma. The closer we got to Mount Akagi, the thicker the fog got. 🙌 The glittering vermilion shrine stands on the misty lakeside. It's so magical! ️ Walking around the grounds while looking at the lake🚶♀️ I enjoyed the different atmosphere from usual🎶 There were quite a lot of gifts to choose from, so I had a hard time deciding, but I received a rare, extra-large amulet❣️ The design of Akagihime👸 is lovely😆✨ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History Originally, Akagi Daimyojin, a nature god, and Akanuma Okami, a swamp god, were enshrined here. In the first year of the Daido era (806) of the 51st Emperor Heijō, the shrine was moved to O-do on the banks of Lake Onuma. Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu was enshrined in the co-shrine. The shrine was rebuilt in 1642 by order of Tokugawa Iemitsu. This rebuilt shrine building fell into disrepair over the course of 300 years, and in 1912 it was moved from O-hora to the site of Itsukushima Shrine on Kotorigashima Island (its current location). And it has remained there ever since. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Akagi Shrine ꕥAddress: 4-2 Akagiyama, Fujimi-cho, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌90 minutes from Maebashi Station 🚗 60 minutes from Akagi IC ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Akagi Shrine #Gunma Tourism #Gunma Trip #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour
