諏訪大社上社 the Kamisya Upper Grand Shrines of Suwa-Taisya 8

ここがすべての始まり・・・水眼。



御手洗川ではあるのですが、とてもピュアで、
まさに心が洗われます。

そう、心を洗うのです。



３月に訪れた時には氷花が咲いていました。
山葵の花が咲く頃にも行きたいな。


This is the very beginning.

Sui-ga, the Eyes of Water is a kind of a river in which you can purify your hands.
It's so pure, and I felt that my soul was purified too.

My hands and soul were refreshed by the Sui-ga.

The flower of the ice was blooming
when I was there in last March.

It will be nice to visit during the Wasabi flowers season as well.

しつこくてすみません。
諏訪大社前宮の拝殿です。




北西を向いているので太陽の光が入ってしまいました。

The Hai-den worship hall
of the fore shrine Mae-miya.
The sunlight is in the picture
because this shrine faces to the North-West.

上社前宮正面です。
拝殿までここからかなり登ります。

が、数多くの宗教家やスピリチャルカウンセラー、霊能者達が
こここそが伊勢神宮と並ぶパワースポットだと公言している理由がわかります。

In front of the fore shrine Mae-miya.

You have to go up many many steps
from here to the Hai-den worship hall,
to feel the holy spirit.

I may say this is Uluru in Japan.
