【神社にお詣り】(Pray at the shrine)

From Izumo Airport via Prefectural Route 57 about 6.5km about 11 minutes by car
It's just below the highway. I'm sitting at the hem of Okuyama in the village of Sai, Shinji-cho, Matsue City.

There is a map of "Onoiwa" and "Sayaisha" in the guide stone tower of Izumokuni Fudoki.

Arrived at Sayu Shrine (sai shrine)

The tip of the torii gate is
pitch black and I can't see the front. Bow and go through the torii gate.

For some reason, it's surrounded by bright trees, followed by a long but relatively low slope stone steps.

Shiba Inu is set up in front of the Shinto gate.

Bow and go through the Shinto gate.

The main shrine built by Taisha is built in the precincts one step higher in the back.

There is a shrine between the stone lanterns.

拝殿向かって左手に境内社
佐爲高守神社《主》天鈿女命（ameno uzume no mikoto）

I'm going to go to the shrine.
I'm sing a lot of money.I wish you all the best..
I pray with my hands together, hitting a high hand that can't reach the god of worship who bows and settles while wishing to be in accordance with your divine power.

Through the Shinto gate

I'm going back to the approach.

Through the torii gate, the straight front area is transmitted 爲 the former Zazachi area of The Sahara Takami Shrine.
