Learn about the roots of Hie-jinja Shrine in the wake of the Sanno Festival (Otsu no Maki)

The Sanno Festival was held in Chuo-ku. The roots of Akasaka / Hie-jinja Shrine are Hie-jinja Shrine (nationally designated important cultural property) in front of the mountain gate of Kita-in, a large temple in Kawagoe city. I wrote in this article about the time I visited here.
The Kita-in homepage says, "It is said that we recommended Oomi Hie-jinja Shrine." Oomi Hie-jinja Shrine is Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. Hiyoshi Taisha is the main shrine of about 3,800 Hiyoshi, Hie, and Sanno Shrines nationwide. Located at the foot of Mt. Hiei, guardian angel in Tendai sect. Since the location of shrine hall is located in Omote unlucky direction (northeast) in Heiankyo, it has been worshiped as a guardian deity of the capital since the Heian period. I went to the Kansai area because I had an errand to visit. From JR Kyoto Station, take the Kosei Line for 16 minutes, get off at Hieizan Sakamoto Station and get to Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine in 20 minutes.
There was something worth noting from my point of view.
One is the three bridges that are said to be the oldest stone bridge in Japan. It is reported that Hideyoshi Toyotomi donated during the Tensho era (1573-1592), and was replaced by Ishibashi in 1669.
The other is masonry. There has been a masonry group in this area since ancient times called Ano Shu. Ano Shuku is a method of loading that skillfully combines natural stones without special processing. I could see a lot on the road from the station to Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine.
In this series of trips, I was interested in So Motomiya. There are many shrines in Chuo-ku, but the total Hongu of Inari Shrine is Fushimi Inari Taisha. The main Motomiya of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine is Sumiyoshitaisha. There are more places I want to go to.
