Japanese Shrine Arata-Hachiman Shrine in Kagoshima City, Japan
ARATA-HACHIMAN SHRINE (Kagoshima City)
Arata-Hachiman Shrine was built about 1,000 years ago.
Many people come to this shrine to pray for safe birth of babies.
It is also said that snakes (vipers) will keep away from you if you pray at this shrine.
Those who dislike vipers take the sand under the shrine building as good-luck fortune.

Shy bird pigeon drink water at Japanese shrine
This video was taken at Arata-Hachiman Shrine, Kagoshima City, Japan.
When I took the video of shrine, a small cute pigeon jumped on the edge of water tank and started to drink water.
(TEMIZU-YA at Japanese shrines)
You wash your hands and mouths before entering Japanese shrine.
According to Shinto religion, it is believed that water wash away crime and uncleanness.
In the ancient period, Japanese people washed their hands at the river and fountains near shrines.
As cities and towns developed, the water in the river and fountains got contaminated. So, shrines made facilities where people can wash their hands.
(How to wash hands and mouth at TEMIZU-YA)
It is best to bring towels or handkerchief when you visit shrines, because there are no place to dry your wet hands.
1, Prepare towels and wash your left hand by using the ladle.
2. Wash your right hand by using the ladle.
3. Put water in left hand then hold it in your mouse.
4. Wash your left hand again and put back the ladle to the original place.
See videos to see how to wash hands at shrine
(Dragon statue at TEMIZU-YA)
The water is flowing from the mouth of dragons statue.
The dragon looks very similar to that of Japanese animation DRAGON BALL (Shen Long)
I love watching Dragon Ball for more than 20 years.
The dragon's name is 神龍 in Kanji (Chinese Character).
First character 神 means God
Second character 龍 means Dragon.
Western and Oriental dragons have much difference!
(Western dragon)
Shenlong has sacred power and can revive the dead fighters.
In Western country, however, dragons are evil creatures..
Dragon is the devil. It lives in deep valley. Sometimes it appears in village and take property and young girls.
Dragon is the symbol of natural calamities such as flood, volcanic lava and tornadoes.
Appearance has a wide range of variety. Some of western Doragon have wings others don't. Some of them have arms and others don't. They have sharp teeth like a alligator.
(Oriental dragon)
Oriental dragon is the symbol of good luck and one of holly together with the giraffe, the phoenix and the turtle.
Chinese emperors are said to be the incarnation of the dragons and they ride on the back of dragons and return to the heaven when they are dead.
Dragons are the embodiment of the earth and water. For this reason, mountainous areas with river are said to be flourish and get prosperous according to Chinese geomancy.
(Other dragons)
Egyptian dragon has a snake body with bat wings.
Indian dragons have a big snake body (32 m) and are divided into those living on the land and those living under water.
Georgian dragons have steep teeth, red throat and wings and legs of geese. Body colors include black, yellow, red and grey.
(Origin of dragons)
There are many arguments about the origin of dragons.
According to one theory, ancients took the shooting star as dragons. Shooting stars have long tales and looked as if snake-like creature is flying in the sky.

蒲生八幡神社について（wikipediaより）
ご祭神は応神天皇、仲哀天皇、神功皇后の三柱。
藤原氏北家教通流の分出とされる蒲生（かもう）氏の初代当主舜清（ちかきよ）が保安4年（1123年）に大隅国へ下向、生母が宇佐八幡宮の宮司家出身であった縁で同宮から勧請して創祀したという。戦国時代、島津氏との激しい戦いの末に蒲生氏は敗れて島津氏の軍門に下り、弘治3年（1557年）他地に退去させられた。その後島津義弘により社殿が再建される。また元和4年（1618年）12月には義弘から鳥居と額が奉建されたともされる。
昭和60年（1985年）、台風13号の被害により社殿は大破し、現在の社殿はその後再建したものである。また、台風被害の翌年から「蒲生八幡神社」と改名した。2008年頃から社務所を鳥居の近くより社殿左に移転している。
蒲生の大クス

特別天然記念物
蒲生のクス - 推定樹齢1,600年（平成22年現在）の楠の大木で。1952年（昭和27年）、国の特別天然記念物に指定された。1988年（昭和63年）度の環境庁による巨樹・巨木林調査で日本一の巨樹であると認定された。宇佐八幡宮神託事件で大隅へ配流された和気清麻呂が当地を訪れ、手にしていた杖を地に刺したものが根付いたものと伝えられ、神社創祀時には既に神木として祀られていたという。
