Hinumanai Shrine (比沼麻奈為神社) is a shrine to Toyoukebime in Kyōtango .[1][2] It is not strictly speaking a Moto-Ise Shrine but it is a Moto-Geku shrine, this is to say Toyoukehime came to Earth in this shrine[2][3], and then moved to Kono Shrine and eventually got to Geku[3].
The Hinumanai Shrine (比沼麻奈為神社) is mentioned in Engishiki dating back to Heian period, as Taniwa (田庭) literally meaning the Garden of Rice Paddies. That ancient place name is thought to have changed over time to Taba (location of rice paddies), then to Tamba/Tanba (丹波).[4]
Nearby there is a well Seisuido (清水戸) and a story of the now lost half-moon-shaped rice paddy Tsukinowa den (月の輪田). They are believed to be the site where Toyouke had soaked rice seeds to encourage germination and planted the first rice.[4][3]
However unfortunately due to the Shrine Consolidation Policy the original Tsukinowa den was likely destroyed.[3]
It venerates the deity Toyoke no Kami and is located at the foot of Mount Kujigatake.[2]
Overview
changeTo reach Hinumanai Shrine visitors follow a road that leads to its torii gate. Next to this entrance stands a group of stones guiding guests to a section within the shrine grounds. Interestingly there is no priest (guji san) at Hinumanai Shrine.[2]
The shrines layout features a torii gate at the foot of a staircase that meanders into an area and ultimately arrives at the haiden or worship hall. Positioned close, to the haiden is the Honden dedicated to Toyoke no Kami—a deity associated with agriculture and prosperity. A special monument honoring Toyoke no Kami stands on the side of the honden haiden complex.[2]
Visitors are advised against venturing beyond the keidai (shrine precincts) or climbing Mount Kujigatake to maintain the sanctity of this revered site.[2]
There have been discussions regarding the whereabouts of Toyoke Omikami's tomb. Access, to locations near the shrine is off limits.[2]
As visitors depart from the shrine they may observe papers fluttering on the rope of the torii gate adding to the tranquil ambiance of the shrine. While visitors are encouraged to show respect and reflect in silence certain paths and areas within its spiritual surroundings are restricted for exploration.[2]
