薦神社（中津市）

This is a brief record of my visit in February 2023 to Komo Shrine 薦神社 located in Nakatsu City, Ōita Prefecture 大分県中津市🇯🇵:

Please be advised in advance…

The header photo may remind readers of Shirahige Shrine 白髭神社 in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture 滋賀県高島市, but Lake Biwa is huge…

Whilst I am an avid reader of 樹山 瞳様, who is a bat enthusiast and ardently working to eliminate prejudice against bats, as shown in the following article, the present article has unfortunately nothing to do with コモ活, though it would be fabulous if such a shrine did exist🦇

Location

Komo Shrine 薦神社

Its home page is the following:

Komo Shrine is also called 大貞八幡宮 Ōsada Hachimangū.
Deities enshrined are

• Emperor Ōjin - 応神天皇（八幡大神）

• Hime-no Ōkami - 比咩大神（宗像三女神）

• Empress Jingū - 息長帯比売命（神功皇后）

It is said to be the ancestral shrine of Usa Jingū, the head shrine of all Hachiman shrines nationwide.

Usa Jingū 宇佐神宮

I paid visits to Usa Jingū twice, and I took many photos. In order to touch upon this renowned shrine, however, I would refer to the following article:

From Ōita to Matsumoto via Kōbe

Next day, after paying visits to shrines in Beppu City, I took an overnight express bus from Ōita to Kōbe, then took an FDA flight to Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture in order to pay a visit to Moriya Shrine 洩矢神社 in Okaya City ...an inexplicable trip something like サイコロの旅🎲😵
