神社にお詣り(Pray at the shrine)
I introduce the state when I visited this shrine.
From Usa Jingu via R10 about 2km
east of the car about 5 minutes Sitting at the back of Usa Takada Medical Association Hospital
Arrived at Shiinetsuhiko Shrine
At the back of the hospital, we're sitting one step higher.
Under the approach stairs 祭神 椎根津彦命 stands a stone pillar that says, "Emperor Jinmu's Imperial East March Sea Route Guide Festival God Shiine Tsuhiko's Life"
When you go up the stairs, you will be surrounded by a blue-colored Tamagaki, and at the entrance there is a sign of the shrine name mark "Shiine Tsuhiko Shrine" and there is a sign of the God area that does not become it, and it tightens the spirit.
There is no shrine, but there are three stone axes in the center of the big tree.
I'm in a stone pass.
I wish you a change.
A prayer that puts both hands together, praying to reach the deity of the festival
If I sit here like this,
I'm sure I'll be cleansed. On the other hand, if you stay here for a long time, you'll fall in love with this
place.
I'm going to go outside Tamagaki and look back and bow.

神社の伝承(Old tales handed down to shrines)
I introduce the thing related to this shrine and the literature described.
『日本書紀（nihon shoki）』
神武天皇の条に記される椎根津彦（shiinetsuhiko）の伝承
When Emperor Jinmu was determined to go to the East when he was 45 years old and left hydration and arrived at Hayasuinto in the toyoyo Strait, where the currents were intense, a fisherman of Kunitsu God appeared and offered to guide Emperor Jinmu to guide him to the water, so the Emperor was able to pass the difficult place safely by awarding a vertebral saw to Jinhiko, so he is said to have given shiinetsuhiko's surname.
The Emperor's party is said to have been welcomed by the founders of Usa Kunizo菟 Hiko Utsutsu and usatsu hime built a temporary shrine (on the south shore of the Bridge of Usa Jingu) on the Usakawa River.
"Translation"
"This year is Taisa no Ye tora."
That year, on October 5th in the winter, the Emperor led the emperor and the boat to the East.When we arrived at Hayasuinto( Toyoyo Strait), a fisherman (ama) came in a small boat.
The Emperor called this fisherman and asked.
Who are you? I was told
The fisherman answered.
"I'm Kunitsujin and my name is Uzu hiko. I'm fishing in Kokupo (wada no ura), and I heard that the child of Tianjin kami is going to come and pick me up."
The Emperor asked again.
Can you show me around?
Then the sea man said, "I'll show you around."
The Emperor ordered the fisherman to give him the tip of the vertebral tree, and he caught him, pulled him into the boat, and led the sea.In the name of this, it is called Shiinetsuhiko.
This is the founder of yamatonoarai.
We arrived at Usa in the country of Chikushi.
At that time, there was an ancestor of 菟狹 (kuninomiyatsuko) and there was a person called 菟狹 (usatsu hime) and "usatsu hime".
On the river's top of usa's river, we built a pillar of the shrine, ashihitotsu agarinomiya, dedicated the Emperor, and held a banquet.
At 菟狹 time, he made his vassal" (usatsu hime) 娶 his vassal, Amano taneno ikoto, is a distant ancestor of Nakaomi no Uji."
