稀有的御朱印和御守!關西12座與十二生肖有關的神社寺廟
在日本,有與動物有關的神社和寺廟。一些日本人參觀與中國十二生肖動物相關的神社,這些神社在日本被用作數位,或者他們每年都會參觀他們出生年份的十二生肖的神社。 什麼是十二生肖?此外,我們還介紹了京都、神戶和大阪的神社和寺廟,這些神社和寺廟與中國十二生肖的動物有關。 -索引- 什麼是十二生肖?【老鼠】京都哲學之道、乙澱神社 【牛】京都北野天滿宮 【老虎】京都河原町兩草院 【兔子】京都東天野岡崎神社 河原町 【龍】兵庫縣港川神社 【蛇】大阪姬島神社 【馬】京都加茂和口神社(上賀茂神社) 【羊】京都嵐山國藏長林寺 【猴子】瀧安寺、箕面, 大阪 【公雞】永田神社, 兵庫縣 【狗】中山寺, 兵庫縣 【野豬】Goou 神社 神社, 京都 烏丸 原來,中國十二生肖是指結合了“十二生肖”和“十二生肖”的歷法,自古以來就在中國使用。在現代日本,“十二生肖”一詞僅用於指代“十二生肖”,指的是代表一年的 12 種動物。【大鼠(Ne)】2020年 【牛(牛)】2021年 【虎(托拉)】2022年 【野兔(U)】2023年 【龍(辰)】2024年 【蛇(米)】2025年 【馬(鴕)】2026年 【公羊(Hitsuji)】2027年 【猴子(Saru)】2028年 【公雞(鳥)】2029年 【狗(犬)】2030年 【野豬(I)】2031年 當十二生肖兜兜轉轉, 它們從第一隻大鼠(NE)再次施用。十二生肖被用作年初發送的新年賀卡上的圖片圖案,以及日常對話中的“這是虎年”和算命。這樣一來,十二生肖就成了日本人最熟悉的數位之一。 讓我們繼續介紹與中國十二生肖相關的關西神社和寺廟。這座神社被稱為「駒根住神社」(守護鼠),位於京都的哲學之路上。駒根住的兩尊雕像守衛著神社場地上的奧國社。右邊的 A 形式拿著代表學習的捲軸,左邊的 Un 形式拿著一個圓點,象徵著後代的生育和繁榮。紅印章、紅印書和護身符也是按照駒根住設計的。神社內還有其他不尋常的雕像,包括守護蛇、守護猴、守護狐狸和守護飛鼠。它是日本全國約12,000座天滿宮和天神社的神社,供奉著學神菅原道真。在神社的範圍內,有一尊牛的雕像,是菅原道真的信使。牛神社的牛雕像位於神社的西北部,據說是院子裡最古老的牛像,據說如果你撫摸牛像,只有一個願望會實現。龍草院是供奉與老虎密切相關的戰神毗沙門天的。這裡放置著一隻稀有的Koma-Tora(守護虎),它的表情和真實的東西一樣勇敢!參觀完寺廟后,您還可以獲得紅色印章。這座神社的象徵是一隻兔子,它來自一個傳說,它擁有豐富的生育能力,以及岡崎地區曾經有很多兔子的事實。除了守護兔和帶孩子到神社的兔子外,還有一個可愛的“Usagi-mikuji omamori(兔子護身符)”。它是兵庫縣最著名的神社之一,供奉著偉大的將軍楠木正重。神社亭子天花板上的164幅畫作是日本各地著名藝術家的奉獻,兵庫縣出生的福田比森的《大藍龍》是傑作。從1月1日至3日,接受第一次新年祈禱的人可以進入大廳觀看儀式,從1月4日開始,遊客可以從供養箱所在的正殿南入口向上看。在日本,蛇被認為是重生的象徵,姬島神社是供奉蛇神的神社之一。在供奉蛇神的神社後面,一棵在1945年空襲中被燒毀的900年歷史的神樹的一部分仍然存在,據說是“重新開始的樹”。主神是Akaruhimenomikoto,他在這個地區重新開始,被認為是“重新開始”的神社,因為一切都曾經在戰爭中丟失。自古以來,神社就與馬有著密切的聯繫。據說,在每年1月7日舉行的「白馬觀光儀式」上看到一匹白馬,將清除神社的惡靈。這是一座罕見的神社,在某一天仍然可以看到聖馬。國藏堀林寺是一個觀光景點,您可以從寺廟內俯瞰嵐山的城市景觀。寺廟地面上放置著一尊羊雕像,據信是寺廟主神Kokuzo Bosatsu的使者或化身,據說觸摸時會賦予智慧。這座寺廟是彩票的發源地,據說是日本第一座祭祀弁齋天的寺廟。寺院位於日本獼猴棲息的自然公園內。該自然公園也是箕面瀑布的所在地,該瀑布被選為日本100大瀑布之一。用手遮住眼睛、耳朵和嘴巴的三隻猴子代表了“看不見邪惡,聽不見邪惡,不說邪惡”=“最好不要看到、聽到或談論邪惡的事情”。長期以來,公雞一直被尊為眾神的使者。據說公雞曾經在神社里漫遊,神社教區居民從不吃公雞肉或雞蛋。禮拜堂的華麗裝飾也值得一提。中山寺以其祈求輕鬆分娩而聞名。由於狗在分娩時很輕,許多婦女在狗的那天去寺廟祈禱容易分娩。安全送達的禮物也很受歡迎。Goou Shrine 是一個軼事的發生地,講述了一頭野豬挽救了 Wake no Kiyomaro 王子的生命,他的腿肌腱被切斷了。正因為如此,神社被稱為腿腳的守護神,神社前放置了Koma-Boar(守護野豬)。手澆水盆中的野豬雕像以撫摸鼻子時帶來好運而聞名。好運符和 ema(還願圖片板)也有野豬圖案。參拜與中國十二生肖相關的神社並接受祝福是瞭解日本文化的一種方式。如果你去日本旅行,一定要去看看。

If you want to warm up the body, a hot spring is the best choice. Soaking leisurely in the warm waters not only relaxes your body but also naturally eases your mind. You can enjoy hot springs in your own way-whether it’s visiting multiple baths with different healing properties and water qualities, or strolling around the neighborhood in a yukata after your bath. For those who want to experience traditional hot spring culture, we recommend Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Minoh Onsen Spa Garden, located near one of Osaka’s famous sights, Minoh Waterfall. The large public bath features a mural of Mt. Fuji, and there are private baths with a chic atmosphere. Additionally, the spa offers classic hot spring amusements such as theater performances, musical shows, and table tennis, so you’ll never get bored, even if you spend the entire day there. Besides, another great option is Solaniwa Onsen OSAKA BAY TOWER, one of the largest multi-purpose hot spring facilities in Kansai, with excellent access from Umeda! You can enjoy six different types of baths, including an open-air bath with free-flowing spring water and a garden-view bath that overlooks a vast Japanese garden. The facility is designed with a modern Japanese aesthetic, inspired by the Azuchi-Momoyama period, when legendary warlords like Toyotomi Hideyoshi thrived-so be sure to take in the unique atmosphere as well! ▼Check this article▼ Best 7 Onsens (Hot Springs) Near Osaka 4 private onsen & baths to enjoy in a private room in Osaka! Hot spring resorts where you can stay overnight or enjoy a day trip If you’re in the mood for a stroll through a charming hot spring town, we recommend taking a day trip from Osaka to Arima Onsen or Kinosaki Onsen in Hyogo. On particularly chilly days, you might even be treated to a magical sight of the town covered in a blanket of shimmering white snow! ▼Check this article▼ Arima Onsen-1 Day Trip|Enjoy Hot Springs, Gourmet, and Nature! The 10 best food and sweets in Arima Onsen Town A day trip from Osaka! 12 popular sightseeing spots to visit by train Hot pot dishes, where various ingredients are simmered together in one pot, are a staple of Japanese winter cuisine. When visiting Osaka, you can’t miss the local specialty hot pot, tecchiri, made with fugu (blowfish). The tender fugu meat is simmered in a flavorful kelp broth along with vegetables like carrots, green onions, and chrysanthemum greens. It’s typically enjoyed dipped in ponzu sauce. The tradition is to finish the meal by adding rice to the remaining broth to make a delicious zousui (rice porridge). Oden, a traditional winter dish where ingredients like daikon radish, eggs, and fish cakes are simmered in a broth made from bonito flakes and kelp, is another must-try.

The soba noodles, which are easier to cut than other types of noodles, symbolize “cutting off misfortune,” and their long, thin shape is believed to represent a wish for longevity. It’s customary to eat soba before the new year begins, as eating it after midnight is considered bad luck. At the long-established soba restaurant Hyoutei, located within walking distance of Osaka-Umeda Station, the specialty is Yugiri Soba, made with finely grated yuzu peel kneaded into the noodles. The dish takes its name from Yugiri Tayuu, a character in Sonezaki Shinju, a famous kabuki play set near the nearby Ohatsu Tenjin Shrine. Dipping the noodles into the broth enhances the refreshing aroma of yuzu, offering a delightful, citrusy flavor. Soba is traditionally meant to be slurped, and when eating Toshikoshi soba, be sure to make a hearty slurping sound, as if sweeping away bad luck! Hatsumode refers to the first visit to a shrine or temple after the New Year, a traditional Japanese custom where people pray for happiness in the coming year.

It is said that you can receive blessings for victory by writing your wish on a bright red daruma (a traditional good luck doll) and offering it at the temple. The temple is filled with countless daruma dolls, creating an auspicious atmosphere. ▼For more details▼ What is the highlight of Katsuo-ji in Minoh?

Toka Ebisu is a festival dedicated to Ebisu, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, where people pray for success in business. Held from January 9 to 11, it is celebrated mainly in the Kansai region. Crowds gather to receive lucky bamboo branches adorned with talismans known as kobakokichō, for good fortune. Toka Ebisu is such a major event that in some areas, it is even more lively than New Year’s celebrations. At the famous Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, known for Toka Ebisu, you can find over a dozen types of lucky charms, such as rice bales symbolizing wealth, lucky bags for storing fortune, and rakes for gathering good fortune. The shrine attracts around one million visitors from all over Japan. Each year, much attention is drawn to the selection of the Fuku Musume (lucky maidens), who serve the gods as shrine maidens during the three-day Toka Ebisu festival. For those who find it difficult to take home the lucky bamboo branches, the fortune charm, said to bring financial luck, is a great alternative. It’s the same size as a credit card, so you can easily slip it into your wallet. Another highlight of Imamiya Ebisu Shrine’s Toka Ebisu festival is the Hoe Kago Parade. Entertainers are carried in palanquins through nearby shopping districts, with lively chants of “Hoe kago, Hoe kago,” bringing excitement to the southern area of Osaka. Why not participate in this energetic, quintessentially Osaka event and pray for prosperity in business? In Japan, February 3 marks Setsubun, the day that signifies the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It is believed that on this day, oni (demons) are more likely to appear. To drive them away, there is a long-standing custom of throwing beans inside the house while chanting “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” (Demons out, fortune in), as a way to ward off evil and bring in good fortune. Across Japan, grand Setsubun festivals are held with large-scale bean-throwing ceremonies. One of the most famous in Osaka is at Naritasan Fudoson in Neyagawa City. From a 150-meter-long stage set up on the temple grounds, prominent figures from Kansai’s political and business worlds, as well as celebrities, throw beans to the gathered crowd, praying for good fortune, protection from misfortune, and traffic safety. Another Setsubun tradition is eating Ehomaki, a thick sushi roll, while facing the eho (the lucky direction where the deity is believed to reside), which changes each year. The rule to ensure you don’t lose your luck is to eat the whole roll in silence, without cutting it. You can find a variety of Ehomaki at department stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores, so pick your favorite and give it a try! On Setsubun, oni masks are also sold alongside beans and Ehomaki, so why not take one home as a fun souvenir? In Japan, the ume (plum blossom) starts to bloom around February, before the sakura, while the cold still lingers. Many people find solace in the ume’s modest and delicate beauty. One of the most famous spots for plum blossoms in Kansai is the Osaka Castle Park plum grove. Spanning about 1.7 hectares, it features around 1,270 plum trees. The breathtaking scenery of the castle framed by the blossoms is sure to captivate your heart. At Osaka Tenmangu Shrine mentioned above, about 20 varieties of white and red plum blossoms bloom around Hoshiai Pond, located on the north side of the grounds. The sight of the delicate petals floating on the pond’s surface adds to the serene atmosphere, creating a truly picturesque scene. At Expo ’70 Commemorative Park in Suita City, there are two notable plum blossom spots: the Natural and Cultural Gardens, with about 120 varieties and 600 trees, and the Japanese Garden, with around 40 varieties and 80 trees. As you take in the gentle scent of the blossoms, why not capture a photo of the park’s symbol, the Tower of the Sun, framed by the plum flowers? With the many varieties and colors of plum blossoms, each famous spot offers its own unique and stunning landscape to discover! ▼For more details▼ February and March trip is plum blossom viewing!
