A very beautiful, tranquil spiritual place set amongst tall trees which add to its peaceful surroundings, there’s a water fountain here that you can sprinkle on your hands and is said to bring you good health and fortune-I took a bath in it (just kidding). I was reading that the original shrine has been around since 692AD but the site was destroyed during the bombings of WW2 this was late rebuilt in 1945, the Tori Gate was originally built in 1902 and survived the devastation of WW2, I hope this spiritual place is around for a very long time to come.

The shrine maidens do goshuin seals here. It was pretty busy on a weekend in May, there were people coming and leaving the shrine grounds. It was a bit difficult to take a nice picture without anybody entering the frame. Parking is to the left of the shrine just beyond the rental bicycle lot. The shrine is designated as an important cultural property; during the WW II bombings, only the Tori gate had survived.

氣比神宮(けひじんぐう、気比神宮)。 式内社(名神大社7座、小1座)、越前国一宮。旧社格は官幣大社。

資料によると、 敦賀は天然の良港を有するとともに、北陸道諸国(現在の北陸地方)から畿内への入り口であり、対外的にも朝鮮半島や中国東北部への玄関口にあたる要衝である。神宮はそのような立地であることから、「北陸道総鎮守」と称されて朝廷から特に重視された神社であった。

『古事記』『日本書紀』では早い時期に神宮についての記事が見えるが、特に仲哀天皇(第14代)・神功皇后・応神天皇(第15代)との関連が深く、古代史において重要な役割を担う。また、中世には越前国の一宮に位置づけられており、福井県から遠くは新潟県まで及ぶ諸所に多くの社領を有していた。

社殿のほとんどは第二次世界大戦中の空襲で焼失したため、現在の主要社殿は戦後の再建になる。空襲を免れた大鳥居は「日本三大木造鳥居」にも数えられる壮麗な朱塗鳥居であり、国の重要文化財に指定されている。また境内社の角鹿(つぬが)神社は「敦賀」の地名の由来であると伝える。

ケヒ(気比/笥飯)」の由来としては、『古事記』では「御食津(みけつ)」から「気比」に転訛したという。

社伝では、上古に主祭神の伊奢沙別命は東北方の天筒山に霊跡を垂れ、境内北東方にある土公の地に降臨したという。そして『気比宮社記』によれば、仲哀天皇の時に神功皇后が三韓征伐出兵にあたって気比神に祈願をすると、海神を祀るように神託があり、皇后は穴門に向かう途中で海神から干・満の珠を得た。そして仲哀天皇8年3月に神功皇后と武内宿禰が安曇連に命じて気比神を祀らせたといい、これが神宮の創建になるとしている。またこの時、気比大神は玉姫命に神憑りして三韓征伐の成功を再び神託したとも伝える。その後大宝2年(702年)に文武天皇の勅によって社殿を造営し、本宮に仲哀天皇・神功皇后を合祀、東殿宮・総社宮・平殿宮・西殿宮の4殿に各1柱を祀ったという(式内社名神大社7座)。

なお、気比の松原の冠称「気比」も神宮の社名に由来するもので、同地が古くは神宮の領地であったことに因むとされる。 とあります。

主祭神は、伊奢沙別命(いざさわけのみこと)、「気比大神」または「御食津大神」とも称される。 祭神が食物神としての性格を持つことを指す名称であり、敦賀が海産物朝貢地であったことを反映するといわれる。このことから、神宮の祭神は上古より当地で祀られた在地神、特に海人族によって祀られた海神であると解されている。

本殿(本宮) ・伊奢沙別命(いざさわけのみこと) - 主祭神。 ・仲哀天皇(ちゅうあいてんのう) - 第14代天皇。 ・神功皇后(じんぐうこうごう) - 仲哀天皇の皇后。 四社の宮 ・東殿宮:日本武尊(やまとたけるのみこと) ・総社宮:応神天皇(おうじんてんのう) - 第15代天皇。 ・平殿宮:玉姫命(たまひめのみこと、玉妃命) -...
