    Cat ~

    Original Text

    Konpira Shrine was founded in 1811, which is not that old as a shrine. The shrine collapsed during the 1927 Kita Tango earthquake, and the existing building was newly built after that. The biggest feature here is that there is a cat in the position of the dog, which is considered to be the only dog in Japan. In the area where sericulture was popular in the area where the textiles were popular represented by the former 々 and Tango Chirimen were popular, Kishima Jinja shrine enshrining silkworms was transferred as a precinct shrine, and the mouth was threatened in 1832 to protect the damage of the rats ...

    Cats

    I went to see the only cherry blossom cat in Japan, but it was surprisingly good while I was a mini Konpira, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, such as being able to feed carp in a pond with many turtles. Please stop by when passing nearby.

    Cat is the only name.

    What is " cat"? It is a substitute for a guardian dog, and it is a pair of left and right, so it seems that it is called here. It was a "stone cat" when there was only one. There are other stone cats with one cat statue. It seems to be a symbol of town revitalization. By the way, it's not "Konpira Shrine" but "Kontohira Shrine".

    Komako is also located at a shrine in Tachikawa City, Tokyo ❗ Please check carefully ❗ Other sites ❗ I want you to confirm that it is not the only one.

    The only shrine in Japan! A shrine where a cat, not a guardian dog, is enshrined! And Sa 々 Ki-san must-see nationwide!

    Original Text

    Shrine where cats, which are not the only guardian dogs in Japan, are enshrined ⛩ The stairs along the way are also shrines where cat stones are placed. Recommended for cat lovers (laughs) Good news for Sa 々 Ki-san nationwide! There is "Sa 々 Ki-shrine" in this shrine! Let's send a photo to my friend Sa 々 Ki (laughs)
