⛩️Introduction to the Shrine
Oasahiko Shrine⛩️ (Oasahikojinja) is the Ichinomiya of Awa Province.
The deities worshipped are Oasahiko-no-Okami and Sarutahiko-no-Okami.
During the reign of Emperor Jimmu, he sowed hemp mulberry seeds in Awa Province, and Ameno-Tatamimi-no-Mikoto, the grandson of Ameno-Tatamimi-no-Mikoto, who developed the area, enshrined Ameno-Tatamimi-no-Mikoto as the guardian deity.
🗺️Highlights of the Shrine
・The large camphor tree, about 800 years old🌳, is magnificent🙌
・There is the German Bridge and the Spectacles Bridge, which are said to have been built by German soldiers🇩🇪 at the time. In particular, the wishful mirror pond is a beautiful turquoise blue.
・There are also sudachi trees, a Tokushima specialty.
💗 Impressions of the shrine
As a historic Ichinomiya, this shrine is very large in scale. The approach to the shrine is also quite long. The sacred tree at the end of the approach is more impressive than ever!
And above all, Kagami-ike Pond at Meganebashi Bridge is mystical. The flowing water is clear, but the reflected color is turquoise blue🩵 I was able to see something wonderful🤩
