The official homepage of Araki Jinja

In July, I went to Nagoshisai safely, shipped a ring of Kaya, and when I took a rest, it was extremely hot due to heavy rain, and I was at the mercy of the typhoon that took an unusual course and the violence of nature that attacked one after another.Thanks to the heavy rain and typhoon, we were able to spend our time without much damage.However, the intense heat of 7 degrees Celsius continues every day.Mt. Inari is thick with trees, so it is better to go up and down the slopes and stairs than in the city of Kyoto.There were few worshipers on the mountain tour, and those who were still worshiping were soaked with sweat as if they were covered in water.

In July, the update of the HP was delayed due to the server malfunction, but we are waiting for your visit with the monthly replacement of paper shide, replacement of flowers, cleaning of the precincts and work, and preparations.Please take proper measures against heat stroke and aedes mosquitoes.

Today, I changed the paper shide every month.

June 6th is Natsukoshi's exorcism.In Kyoto, we go through the ring of Kaya and get rid of the evil spirits and eat the sweets Minazuki. At Araki Jinja, Nagoshisai will be attending on the first Sunday of July, but today, which is essentially the turning point of the year.

It was a busy day with heavy rains and strong winds, as if it was sunny yesterday.From this afternoon, thunder rang and strong winds blew and it rained.Since the thunder rang, it seems that the rainy season will finally end and it will be a full-scale summer sky.The temperature is about the same as midsummer, so let's get in shape.

 

Yesterday I made a ring of Kaya in preparation for Nagoshisai.

Bundle the Japanese pampas grass, attach it to the core, and fix it to the support to shape it.This year, it's pretty beautiful.Yesterday in Kyoto, the heat was over 32 degrees Celsius, and the sunshine was about the same as midsummer.

The day before yesterday, I replaced the real estate and Kobo-san's flowers, and today I finished cleaning the precincts from the morning.

We look forward to your visit.

Don't forget to spray insect repellent when visiting the mountains.

 

Last year, I was troubled by the giant hornet, which had built nests five times in the precincts, but this year I discovered that the giant hornet was nesting.It is in the soil with fallen leaves in the corner of the precincts.

In the early morning of June 6th, I witnessed a menacing flight into a hole as I was walking along the approach.The giant hornet, which is said to be one of the largest in the world and the most dangerous creature in Japan.This was difficult for worshipers, so for the time being, we closed the approach to the nearby approach and posted it in four languages.The exterminator I requested came on the 16th and was able to catch the parent bee that came back during the extermination work with an insecticide. It's about 4 cm in size, so maybe this is the queen bee.It seems that the only queen bee that can overwinter has just begun to build a new nest, and the worker bees have not yet become adults.It was good to be able to detect it early.
