Positive first hachibei Inari Shrine
At that corner、There is a company name mark written in red with "Fire Defense God Hachibei Inari"、If you turn one corner further ... you will see a red torii gate.。
Small but bright precincts。The fox in front of the worship hall、A little bit cute。
The stones lined up in the corner of the precincts、Is it a successive company name mark?
The origin is、It is hung on the top of the hall of worship、Next to it, "The fence was completed with the donations of Hachibe Inari Shrine members" ...
Great shrine like handmade warmth I'm NAA (photo by 2014.6)
"About 260 years ago, around the middle of Tokugawa, there was a tradesman named Hachibei here.。
One day I started a fire from my fault。Hachibei regretted having caused trouble to the neighborhood and walked around the town every night with "Beware of fire" and "Beware of fire".。
Since then, there have been almost no big fires in this Wakamatsu town.。
After the death of Hachibei, volunteers in the neighborhood built Inari Shrine and worshiped Hachibei.。
When I heard about this, the Machi-bugyō played to the Shogun family and gave him the first rank and praised Hachibei.。Rather than turning the treasures that have been stored for a long time into ashes by fire, Hachibei's heart is still the same, so please visit this shrine and be even more careful of the fire.
