秋葉神社にやって来た。

初めて秋葉神社にやって来た。浜松駅から車で約90分。狭い山道を不安に思いながら運転してきたけど、そこは山奥の美しい神社だった。

I came to Akiba Shrine for the first time. It's about 90 minutes by car from Hamamatsu Station. I drove anxiously along the narrow mountain road, but there, deep in the moutains, was a beautiful shrine.

階段を登り続けて約7分　I kept climbing the stairs for about 7 minutes….

秋葉山山頂に着くと・・・

秋葉山山頂は866m。そこに着くと眩い黄金の鳥居が待っていた。神社の境内からの眺めは美しく、空気も澄んでいて心が洗われる感じがした。青い空に黄金の鳥居と下に見える山や街並みに感動した。

The summit of Mt. Akiba is 866m. When I arrived there, a dazzling golden torii gate was waiting for me. The view from the shrine grounds was beautiful, and the air was clear, giving me a refreshing feeling that cleansed my heart. I was moved by the blue sky, the golden torii gate, and the view of the mountains and cityscape below.

帰りに天狗のおみくじを引くと・・・
When I draw a tengu fortune slip on the way back…

参道には可愛らしい天狗のおみくじがありました。秋葉山には天狗がいたという話があるそうです。天狗のおみくじを引いたら、大吉でした〜！清々しい気持ちで山を降りることができました。皆さんもぜひ秋葉神社を訪れてみてください。
There were adorable Tengu fortune-telling slips along the approach. There is a story that says there are Tengu in Mt. Akiba. When I drew the tengu fortune slip, it was "great fortune". I was able to get off the mountain with a refreshed feeling. I highly recommend everyone to visit Akiba Shrine.
