I went to a shrine visit to Kamo shrine where there is the biggest Shinto statue in Japan

Although the statue of Shinma (Shimeme) may be seen in shrines here and there, the biggest Kami in Japan is in Kamo Shrine in Omihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture. Because it is the afternoon in 2014, I went to see the biggest Shinto statue in Japan.

Arrived at Toriie


After entering the precincts, a spirit company and a shrine "Resurrection Sakaki" on the left


The trunk of two sakaki are connected.


The other side of it is the Shinto statue


In the era of Tenchi the first national ranch was set up in this area, Kamo shrine was established in the era of Emperor Shomu. Therefore, it is known as a guardian of horses and horse things since ancient times.


Statue of Shrine Torii The torii where the forehead was "the best in the whole country" was right in front of it.


Shinkuma was removed once during wartime, but it was revived in 1990.


It is unknown whether Japan is maintaining the largest in Japan at the time because it is the largest in Japan at the time of reconstruction, but the prospect of looking up is considerable.


Such a horse 's character is waiting for a visit.


A big afternoon ema


There are many mysterious spots such as Kamo Shrine, which has appeared earlier, "Mikakaki of Reasoning", so it may be Ali to come to that purpose.



By the way, in the precincts there was an illustration that the local children drew, but I did not think that I would see the Ellen illustration in the shrine "Dedicate my heart!"
