Two stories of Kojiki

I like Suwa. It is a feeling that I get along well rather than like it.

The atmosphere (atmosphere / climate, aura) matches.
To put it this way, I have an atmosphere to honor me 
with the energy of mind　It may be said that.
For me it seems like a sacred place (Sedona of Arizona).

Suwa Taisha - main shrine, the mountain itself is God.

And there are four companies together with Maemiya, harumiya, and Akimiya. There are also four pillars built.
For details, it will be long, so check it out on the internet.

Ruling over the powerful prince God (Okuninushino:Boss of God)

 (Ashiharano-nakatukuni):Shimane prefecture Izumo region
It was supposed to be entrusted to 
Amaterasu Ogami of Takamagahara.
However. Among the many Son Gods of the great power 
Goddess, only it
There was something that went wrong.

That was the God of Honorable Name (Take Minakata).
My mother is said to be a (Princess Nunakawahime).

God Honor God came while lifting a gigantic rock lightly,
Challenge the force against the building thunder god (Takeumi Kazuchi). What I got a hand first　It was a god lord.

However, the hand of the building Thunder god pulled by the god Honorary god turns into an icicle and becomes a blade of the sword.
Surprised, hand released God 's hand, now the thunder god grasps the hand of God.
Then the hand of the god Honorary god became soft like a reed, and it was easily thrown away easily.
God who came to think that it would not come and got run away at once. Building thunder god who chases after.

At last the Sinano Country Suwa's lake was stunned by 

the god-name god,
To make a life call. "Please do not kill me.
From now on I will not step out of Suwa.
I do not go against my father and older brother.
Let's give this Reed Sichuan to the Son of Heavenly God. "
In this way, the yield transfer is completed, and the god Konno god will quarrel in the land of Suwa.
This is the beginning of Suwa Shrine.

The comparison of the power of these gods has become 
the origin of sumo.
Even now, the sumo wrestler has strong faith in Suwa Taisha.

2: Suwa's Folktales & Legends: God's Love Passing Way "OmiWatari"

It is a long and distant past. In the main shrine of 
Suwa Taisha Shrine in the south of Lake Suwa,
The god of the couple of the goddess and 
the goddess lived on a mercy.
God 's name is "the men of Takeminakatanomikoto "
 by the goddess,
The goddess said "YasakaTomenomikoto" 

However, not all calm days were continued.

In addition to strong winds and heavy rains, there are days like snowing in the summer,
Years that only few crops were collected lasted for years.
One day like that, "To rule the weather,
I built a new temple north of Lake Suwa.
" YasakaTomenomikoto" like to protect the temple" 
said the voice of heaven.
The new temple was called "Akimiya". 
I can not go against the voice of the sky.
" YasakaTomenomikoto"  sparing the parting with
”Takeminakatanomikoto ",
I decided to go to Akitomiya.

At this time " YasakaTomenomikoto" was used for make-up every day, beside the main shrine

I decided to take a hot spring that springs up. 
One party took a break on the way,
At the time of departure, the hot spring that 
I put in the vessel with a mouse was spilled.
It was just a place called "Suwa" by Suwa.
(Currently, the hot springs in Kowada, Suwa City, 
we soaked in this time
It is said that the goddess' hot spring gushed out. )

Next time, to prevent spills from spilling, cover the vessel 

with hot springs with cotton,
I headed to Akitomiya. Finally arrived in Akiyomiya, 
was covering the vessel,
When I put wet cotton at the hot springs, 
there is a hot spring from there
I got up. A hot spring springing from a hot spring filled with cotton
By doing so, people of the posterity will use this hot spring as 
"cotton hot water"
It means that I began to call.

Meanwhile, ”Takeminakatanomikoto ", left in the main shrine,

Every day is lonely and I can not stop.
Tidying up work in the main shrine quickly, 
at about once every three days,
I went to see the " YasakaTomenomikoto" in Akimiya crossing 
Lake Suwa by boat.
However, in the winter, thick ice stretches and the boat 
can not be used.
It was difficult for me to walk around the lake shore, which is a detour.
That is because it was a cold day After a certain morning, 
Lake Suwa was full of ice
I was stretched. Construction name director tried riding 
on awkward ice.
However, the ice is thick and does not budge. To make a short cut there,
I dared to walk on the ice.
Construction name director finally reached the shore, and relieved and looked backward
At that time, there was a tremendous sound like thunder called Burari Bali.
The ice on the lake where  ”Takeminakatanomikoto " was raised for more than 1 meter.
Then, every winter, a freezing cold day continues,

I saw the phenomenon that the ice of Lake Suwa was exciting.

People named it as the path through which 
”Takeminakatanomikoto "  passed, "God transit":Omiwatari
I interviewed him that I went to see  " YasakaTomenomikoto" 
 <Love's way>.

In the old days, Suwa has many myths, folktales, 

and in the Middle Ages, in the way of Nakasendo,
It is widely known as a spa to heal tiredness and 
seems to be crowded.
Surrounded by mountains, Lake Suwa has 
hot springs and it is wonderful for sightseeing spots etc.
It is place.
Come and visit, distant past, near past, present, future,
It might be a thought to make a mind.
Sake is also delicious, soba is also delicious,

Young ladies are also beautiful 
(maybe there are individual differences?)

Anyway it's a nice place. Shinshu is such a sight,

There are many, it is wonder land.
