【創 建 (Beginning of history)】

Founding is unknown. Various legends are passed down to the present

The Kameno(毛野一族) clan emerged in the Kanto region in the ancient times, revered Mt.Akagi, and worshiped the god of Akagi to rule the Ueno Plain, but later became divided into Kaminokuni and Shimogenokuni, and Shimogeno became Nikko Volcano. Established Futarayama Shrine.

It was worshiped against the backdrop of a dormant volcano, and Mt. Komagata is also located on the outer ring of Akagi Volcano, and the word "Mao(『馬王』)" can be seen scatteredly around the Futarayama Shrine(二荒山神社).

Kamikeno and Shimogeno(上毛野・下毛野氏) extend their powers to the north, studying with their homeland everywhere they go, searching for a shapely mountain with a solitary mountain at a dormant volcano, and naming the second highest peak of the mountain range Komagatake or Komagatayama. , Dedicated to Komagata Ogami.

It also reaches Oshu, and you can see a male figure from the Isawa Plain, soliciting Komagata Ogami to the summit and naming it Komagatake.

This is due to 上毛野胆沢公, who was at the time of the Emperor Yuuraku雄略天皇 (around 456).

Of all the Komagata shrines enshrined in Hidemine in Japan like this, only two companies, the "Komagata shrine" in Kurihara-gun, Miyagi prefecture, and our company, are in the Enki-style god list.

The reason why our company advanced the Shinto rank to the fourth rank below was that it was worshiped by the Conqueror General, "Sakaue Tamura Maro(坂上田村麻呂)", who founded the Mutsu country "Isawa Castle." It was due to the above reports from this office many times.

There is a song called Komagata that called Akagi Shrine in the old days, and sang Koma. At that time, Korea was in the Koryo era and was also a country of admiration for culture, so I used the word coma to show off to the world.

The fact that Hakone Shrine of Hakone Mountain Enshrine dedicates Komagata Shrine is similar to the description that it has solicited Koma Daijin from Korea.

In this way, it can be said that the god of Akagi is the god of Komagata.
As Sakaue Tamura Maro and Minamoto no Yoriyotomo and father-in-law worshiped Komagata Okami seriously and learned that they fulfilled their wishes for martial arts, the four generations of Fujiwara who built glory in Oshu were also worshiped.

"Mt.Tabaine(束稲山)" seen in the east across the Kitakami River from Hiraizumi is also called Mt. Komagata.
This may make it difficult to climb the steep Komagatake mountain often, and it is believed that Komagata Okami was enshrined on this mountain.

Hidehira Fujiwara casts a deity with copper on Hakone Engi.
To enshrine the god of Komagata can be imagined how Fujiwara dedicated his respect.

Thus, the reverence of Komagata Shrine is magnificent, and the number of branch offices extends from each prefecture in the Tohoku region to the Kanto region, reaching the number of hundreds.

About Okumiya
In the old days, Okumiya was sitting on top of "Dainichidake".
"Dainichidake" is a sacred mountain that rises to the south of "Komagatake" where the "Okunomiya" is currently enshrined, and there is a Shinto monument actually named Komagata Daimyojin.
"Komagatake" and "Dainichidake" together with "Ushigatayama" and other mountains form the outer ring of the former volcanic volcano, and "Komagatayama" is a collective term for these mountain ranges. The reason why the mountain was settled on "Dainichidake" is because it was the highest mountain in the mountain range.

The modern Okumiya was built on the summit of "Komagatake" at the present location. The building area is 3 tsubo, 3 minutes and 5 minutes, and it is headed to Tohoku with a jewel.
This place, Sanyo, is the former territory of Date, in Isawa County, and San'in is the former territory of Nanbu, in Waga-gun. It was settled on the border of both territories and, in addition, the reverence of both was extremely high, so it is a Shinto shrine. The example was that each public fund was remodeled every 20 years.

本社について
Our company's site was originally Shiogama Shrine's land, but when it was lined up at the national shrine on May 14, 1868, both the Satomiya and Okumiya were in an area with inconvenient transportation, so the prefectural governor, etc. Since it was not possible to visit, the current shrine, which was the location of the Mizusawa prefectural government at that time, was designated as a temporary worship place.
In addition, in 7th year of Meiji, the shrine was greatly repaired and made into an official place of worship.
Furthermore, in 1868, the spirit of God was transferred from the summit,
Shiogama Shrine was enshrined in Kasuga Shrine, which is the company's Beppu, and was transferred to the shrine's Issai Komagata Shrine.
The main hall and the worship hall were originally built by Sosori Mizusawa, the chief lord of the castle, in 6th year of Kan'ei, but suffered a fire in 6th year of Ansei and burned down. It was revived in Bunkyu 3rd year.
Among them, the main shrine is a giant tree of Keyaki, which was carved by the carpenter Mankichi Kumagai of Nishigawai-gun, Kinugawa-mura, and is all made by Sangensha.
In addition, the current shrine became a shrine suitable for Rikuchu Ichinomiya both in name and reality, with a total construction cost of 62600 yen (Ministry of Interior subsidy 32600 yen) to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the transition to the current shrine. It is a thing.

里宮について
Satomiya was settled at Hinakozawa, Nishineji, Kanegasaki-machi, which reached about 12 km at the foot of "Komagatake", and was positioned as a pre-war prefectural shrine, but now it is an independent festival according to the new law.
According to the Ou Kanso Kenzoku magazine, it is difficult to climb and worship the Holy Spirit because the enclave of Okumiya is a sacred mountain in the world, and the mountains are steep. Furthermore, from "Ugai Shimizu" on the hillside, women were forbidden ahead. It is said that the Holy Spirit was moved from the top of the mountain and served in harmony so that villagers and young women could worship.
There is also a Satomiya in "Iwasaki" of the former Nanbu territory, but now the relationship with our company has disappeared.

あなたが この神社に興味が湧くような予備知識をオタク視点でご紹介します

Komagata shrine is about the composition of "Okumiya", "Two Villages" and "Headquarters"

Komagata shrine originally originated in the dedication of "Komagata Ogami" to the summit of "Komagatake" in Kanegasaki. Because both "Okumiya" and "Satomiya" were in a location where transportation was inconvenient, the present location of "Shiogama Shrine", which was located in the town of Mizusawa, was used as a place of worship.

Details of the details

About "Okumiya"

Originally, there was Okumiya at the summit of "Dainichidake" in the south of "Komagatake".
Since early modern times, we will move to the summit of "Komagatake".
In the Edo period, there was "Komagatake" at the boundary of the "Sendai clan" and "Morioka clan", so it is said that every 20 years, both clans replaced and rebuilt the shrine.

About "Two Village Shrines"

"Komagatake" is difficult to visit at the Okumiya at the summit. Before "Ugai Shimizu" on the hillside, there was a sacred mountain where women were prohibited. The Sendai clan and the Morioka clan each built a Satomiya at the foot of Komagatake by soliciting the spirits of the summit.

About "Headquarters"

The origin of national Shinto in the Meiji era「National shrineThe main hall of the Shiogama Shrine near Mizusawa Prefectural Government at that time was designated as a temporary hall of worship.
It became an official place of worship at Komagata Shrine in 1874.
In 1903, the spirit of the summit of the mountaintop was solicited to the place of worship and became the headquarters of Komagata Shrine.

All of the original Shiogama Shrine has been transferred to Komagata Shrine, and all of the shrines have been incorporated into the Kasuga Shrine of the precincts of the precincts of the temple grounds.

About the origin of the name of Komagata

According to a company biography, around the 4th century, the "Keno" clan emerged in the Kanto region in the Kanto region, worshiping Akagiyama, and worshiping the god of Akagi to rule the Ueno plains. Divided into "Jomo no kuni" and "Shimoge no kuni", Shimogeno founded Futarasan Shrine at Nikko Volcano.

This belief was worshiped against the background of a dormant volcano, and there is Mt.

It is said that the “Keno clan”, who gradually expanded their power in the Tohoku area, chose a “quiet volcano” with a good shape and called “Komagatake” to enshrine Komagata Okami.

When we arrived at this place, we saw the appearance of "Isawa" plains, and solicited "Komagata Okami" on the summit, and named it "Komagatake".

This is due to 上毛野胆沢公, who was at the time of the Emperor Yuuraku雄略天皇 (around 456).

Sakaue Tamura Maro applies for promotion of the deity of Komagata Shrine, which was said to have been the "guardian deity of Emi" after the conquest.

After that, it was told that the shrine was erected on the present summit of Komagatake (850), and it was collectively called "Komagatayama" along with "Komagatake", "Ushigatayama", and "Washigamoriyama". An ancient monument of "Komagata Daimyojin" is still on the summit of "Dainichidake" (now Kyozukayama)

Komagata Shrine Spring Festival "Children's Horse Warrior Procession"

Children aged 5 to 10 wear armor helmets, ride bravely on horseback, and walk through the city.

In the old days, "Yorii Minamoto" and "Yoshiya" parents and children set up an arrowhead in the middle of "Komagatake" (mountain of Mt. Komagata Shrine) to pray for the peace of the region
It is an event dedicated to the shrine in hope of healthy growth of children
