[Saitama Prefecture/Yakyu Inari Shrine] I'm glad I went in 2023! Shrines in Saitama Prefecture ①

Yakyu Inari Shrine in Higashimatsuyama City. Nootbaa became famous during the WBC. His mother is from Higashimatsuyama City, so Yakyu Inari Shrine has also become popular along with Nootbaa.😉 From the name Yakyu (arrow bow), the shrine has a connection to baseball⚾️, and there are votive plaques and charms in the shape of bats and home bases available.✨ Especially at this time of year, the wisteria flowers are in full bloom, and I was surprised that they were the most fragrant I've ever seen.😳 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History Founded in 712 (Wado 5). During the Heian period, Taira Tadatsune, the lord of a castle in Shimousa Province, rebelled and Minamoto no Yorinobu of Kai Province was sent to suppress the rebellion. At that time, while praying for victory at Noku Inari Shrine, he witnessed an arrow-shaped cloud flying towards the enemy camp. Believing this to be a divine blessing, Yorinobu attacked the enemy camp and took control. After reporting his victory, the shrine was rebuilt and its name changed to "Yariyumi Inari." ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Yakyu Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-5-14 Yakyu-cho, Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚃Higashimatsuyama Station → 4 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Yakyu Inari Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour #Saitama Tourism #Saitama Trip
