棒原神社

棒原神社, Shinto shrine in Japan

Sugihara Shrine stands on a hill called "Sugi no Mori" in Kamitanui, Tamaki, reached by 88 stone steps. Its shrine building is built in Shinmei-zukuri style with a cypress-bark roof, and the grounds cover about 17,078 square metres, enclosed by a fence and entered through a torii gate. The site also holds the Asakuda burial mounds: 10 round and 14 square tombs.

The shrine was first built during the Nara period and has long served as a protective sanctuary for the region. After being destroyed during the Sengoku period, it was rebuilt in 1663 and has undergone multiple restorations since.

The shrine honours Ameno Subarume no Mikoto no Mitama, a deity whose name derives from Subaru, the Pleiades, and her attendant Mimaeno Kami. The name points to star-based divination once practised here to judge the prospects of the farming year. The shrine has no physical shintai, and its festivals are conducted by priests at the shrine grounds.

The shrine stands on a hill called Suginomori; 88 stone steps lead up to the hall. From JR Sangū Line's Jōgita Station it is about 13 minutes on foot (roughly 715 m), and about 10 minutes by car (roughly 5.0 km) from the Tamaki Interchange on the Ise Expressway. Rice paddies lie south of the grounds, and in clear weather the Ise Sanzan can be seen to the west.

The shrine's deity, Amenosubarume-no-mikoto-no-mitama, takes her name from Subaru, the Japanese word for the Pleiades. This suggests that star-based divination for farming was once practised in the area. The shrine has no physical shintai object, and its grounds contain the Asahikuta burial mounds: ten round and fourteen square tombs.
