Kenchi Tachibana

Kenchi Tachibana

Performer of EXILE, leader and performer of EXILE THE SECOND (Kenchi Tachibana, TETSUYA, NESMITH, SHOKICHI, AKIRA).
The arena tour "EXILE THE SECOND LIVE TOUR 2024 "THE FAR EAST COWBOYZ" is scheduled to start from March 2024✨
Currently in charge of a series about sake in ``Discover Japan,'' a magazine that aims to rediscover the charms of Japan.

Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine (Sarume-JinjaShrine)

Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine

First, let's go to Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine which is dedicated to Sarutahiko Okami, who is said to be the God of Michihiraki. Visit us for the arena tour starting in the spring! I visited.

It is said that Sarutahiko no Okami guided Amaterasu-Omikami no Mikoto, the grandson of Amaterasu Omikami, to the earthly world, so he believed that all things would happen at the beginning of things. It is said to be a ``michibiki'' for the best person.

In the middle of Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine grounds, there is an octagonal stone pillar with directions and zodiac signs carved into it.

This is where the temple was before the main shrine was moved to its current location, and many people touch it every day to wish for good luck. Since it is a sacred place where the shrine was originally located, it is said to be placed here as a sign to prevent people from accidentally stepping on it.

Next I headed...

Sarutahiko-JinjaShrine is located within the grounds of Sarutahiko Shrine.

This place is enshrined with Amenouzumenomikoto no Mikoto, known as a god who is said to be blessed with good fortune in the entertainment industry and marriage, so many celebrities come to worship here!

There are flags dedicated to many famous people...



Tachibana-san and TETSUYA-san's names! In fact, both of them were dedicated several years ago.

Everyone, please look for it when you go to Sarume-JinjaShrine ♪

IseJingu (Naiku)

IseJingu (Naiku)

Next, we headed to IseJingu (Naiku).

Here, THE RAMPAGE's Kenta Kamiya, Shogo Yamamoto, and Shogo Iwatani also joined, and the four of them decided to visit the shrine.

Everyone from THE RAMPAGE has been here since they visited during their tour four or five years ago.

IseJingu is not a single shrine, but a collective name for 125 shrines and shrines, centered around Kotaijingu (Naiku shrine) and Toyouke-daijingu (Geku), and its official name is ``Jingu''.

The center of IseJingu is Naiku and Geku. The Imperial Kotaijingu, which enshrines Amaterasu-Omikami, the guardian deity of the Japanese people, is called Naiku, and is in charge of food for Amaterasu-Omikami Omikami, and is responsible for various industries such as food, clothing, and shelter. Toyouke Toyouke-daijingu which enshrines the Toyouke-no-Omikami is called Geku.

Naiku (Main Shrine) is said to be a place to express gratitude rather than personal wishes (*), so the four of us went to the shrine to express our gratitude.

*Although this is an old custom, it does not mean that you should never pray for personal things; it is said that you should first give thanks and then make a wish.

After visiting the shrine, they said, ``I feel so empowered!'', ``I'm glad I came from the bottom of my heart!'', and ``I want to come at least once a year!''.

Next, go to Aramatsuri-no-miya (Aramatsurinomiya), the second largest and most prestigious of the Betsugu shrines, which belongs to Naiku and is the first in size after the main shrine. Aramatsuri-no-miya At Amaterasu-Omikami, "Aramitama," which is the deity of , is enshrined, and many people make their personal requests here!

On the way back from Naiku, we found a sake barrel dedicated to IseJingu and took a commemorative photo!

There are many famous sakes from Mie prefecture, but Mr. Tachibana, who has a wide knowledge of Japanese sake, took us on a tour of Kiyamasa Sake Brewery, which is famous for `` Jikon'', and Wakaebisu Sake Brewery, which is famous for ``Gizaemon''. They enjoyed talking about what they received!
