ある男が帰り道、狐が頭や背にアオミドをつけて美人に化け、牛馬の糞を牡丹餅に変えて、ある家に入っていくのを見た。障子の穴から覗いて見ると、重箱から牡丹餅を出して家人に勧めるので、「それは牛の糞だぞー」と叫んでも気づかない。叫び続けたが、突然背中をどやされた。気が付くと、木の股から首を出して、山のほうを覗いていた。

Sada Shrine
Along with Izumo Taisha and Kumano Taisha, Sada Shrine is one of the main shrines in Shimane.
The gods that are enshrined here keep a watchful eye over the local area, and protect it from misfortune.
It is said that from the time when the spirit of Izanami was brought here from Mt. Hiba, the gods have been coming here in the 10th month of the lunar calendar (the same time they descend on Izumo Taisha), to meet Izanami, the “mother” of the gods.
The shrine holds festivals and various rituals to welcome the gods here, and is well known around the country as being one of the places that hosts the myriad of gods.
The main god of the shrine, Sada-no-okami, is said to be Sarutahiko, the god who was worshipped as the god of the sun before the birth of the sun goddess Amaterasu.
It is said that Sarutahiko lived in the world Ame-no-yachimata which is located between the celestial plains and the earth. As such, he was considered the guiding light between heaven and earth. It is said that he was a large god, standing at over 10 metres with shining red eyes and a long nose. Getting there: Take the bus bound for Etomo/Kataku/Kora from Matsue Sation. You can also get on the bus outside the prefectural office, the kenmin kaikan citizens hall or Shiomi Nawate. Get off at Sada jinja-mae and cross the bridge.

A priest named 板橋 Itabashi was on duty to get 竜蛇 a Ryuja white serpent from there.
Recently the fishermen from Etomo and Shimane find it from September till November.
Fishermen place it on sea weed and make an offering at the tokonoma 床の間 alcove in their home.
After that they bring it to the Shrine 佐太神社 Sada Jinja.
Sometimes some sacred letters can be seen as a pattern on its fins.
To catch such a fish will bring good luck and good business to the community.

The Shrine 美保神社 Miho Jinja is located at the town Mihonoseki.
Around 1865, two 竜蛇 Ryuja white serpents were made as offerings.
The female was given to the village 冨益村 Tomimasu.
The male was given to Mihonoseki town. It is now venerated at 美保神社 the Shrine Miho Jinja.

美保神社 Miho Jinja
The head shrine of Ebisu, a god with deep connections to the sea and music
Miho Shrine is located in a port, with Miho Bay unfolding before it and the scent of the ocean drifting through it.
The stone paving that lies in front of the shrine’s torii gate turns pale blue when dampened by rain, and is known as Aoishidatami-dori (lit. “the blue-stone-paved street”).
The streetscape is reminiscent of ancient times.
A god with a deep connection to music is deified at the shrine, and concerts dedicated to the god are also held on the shrine grounds.
It is said that worshippers will be blessed with better fortune if they visit Miho Shrine in conjunction with visiting another shrine, Izumo Taisha, so by all means, make your way to both. Miho Shrine enshrines the god of maritime safety, large fishing catches and business prosperity.

The shrine’s cute wooden votive plaques are also popular, so why not write your wishes on one and offer it at the shrine?
(Incidentally, Miho Shrine is the head shrine of more than 3,000 Ebisu shrines nationwide.)

Ebisu is one of the seven gods of good luck.

An old stone mason tells this story:　
In former times the area of 豊前の国 Nagato no Kuni and 豊前の国 Buzen no Kuni (both in Fukuoka and Oita) was connected by a place called 穴門 Anamon, now in Nagato. It was also written 穴戸 Anato.　
When 神功皇后 Empress Jingu Kogo took the army to Korea, part of the land was cut away to make place for the war ships to pass.　
Anamon refers to Kanmon Kaikyo 関門海峡 the Kanmon Strait.
