Original Text

It's not a tourist destination, but I thought it was the next place I wanted to visit after Hikone Castle and Genguen. It's a little confusing because it's in the city. There is about １０ in the parking lot in the precincts, but be careful because the entrance and exit are a little narrow and the slope. The man at the reception at the shrine office had a good voice so that he thought he was a baritone singer in the opera. After all, the design of the red stamp has an impact. It's at least 1,000 yen, but it's worth it.

the oldest dancer in japan is enshrined.

It's so to speak, the oldest dancer. Therefore, there is a benefit in performing arts. ＪＲ It is about １０ minutes walk from Hikone Station.

Ogi Omikuji Jinja shrine

Original Text

It is a shrine famous for the god of performing arts in Ogi Omikuji, but I ended up seeing the shrine probably because I went late. The torii was also poor and didn't leave much impression. However, the history is old from the eighth Emperor Kogen.

He is the god of performing arts.

Original Text

All Hikone sightseeing was completed by "walking". I walk quite a bit. From the city to this shrine. I'm not a person in the entertainment world, but since I started "learning" after I was a good age, I asked God. It's a little-known tourist destination, so it's rattling. There is a local bus running nearby, so please take a bus or bicycle.
