Ryujin Kaido 龍神街道 Ryujin Highway of the "Dragon God"
Now National Highway Nr. 371.

This road was used by Tokugawa Yorinobu, the 10th son of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He was the lord of Wakayama and often called
Nanryuko 南龍公 "Honorable Southern Dragon".
He went to the hot spring 龍神温泉 Ryujin Onsen "of the Dragon God".

In modern times, there are two courses
江戸時代コース Edo Jidai course
and the
らくらくコース Rakuraku course for easy hiking, also called
平成の龍神街道 Heisei no Ryujin Kaido

Ryujin Onsen 龍神温泉
is a Japanese onsen, hot spring located in Ryūjin village, now the part of Nakahechi town in Wakayama Prefecture.
Ryujin Onsen was discovered in the 7th century by Ennogyoja, the founder of Shugendō.
Kobo Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism visited the spot in the 9th century.
During the Edo era (1603-1868), the onsen was used as a resort area by the Tokugawa ruling family, whose castle was in Wakayama city.
Today there are old Japanese inns, ryokans, using the names Kamigoten (Royal Palace) and Shimogoten (Lower Lodgings), from the old feudal system.
It is said to be the third best onsen for beautifying your skin in Japan.

Tokugawa Yorinobu 徳川頼宣
(1602 - 1671)

- quote -

Born under the name Nagatomimaru (長福丸), he was the 10th son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, by his concubine Kageyama-dono. On December 8, 1603, Yorinobu received the fief of Mito, then rated at 200,000 koku, as his fief. Mito had formerly belonged to his older brother, Takeda Nobuyoshi. Following his stipend increase to 250,000 koku in October 1604, he came of age on September 12, 1606, taking the name Yorimasa, and receiving the court rank of junior 4th, lower grade (ju-shi-i-ge) and the title of Hitachi no Suke.
On January 6, 1610, he was transferred to a 500,000 koku fief in Suruga and Tōtōmi Provinces (thereby founding Sunpu Domain centered on Sunpu Castle), and took the name Yorinobu.
However, after a little under a decade in Suruga, he was transferred to the 550,000 koku Wakayama Domain on August 27, 1619, following the transfer of the previous rulers, the Asano clan, to Hiroshima, in Aki Province.
Yorinobu thus became the founder of the Kii branch of the Tokugawa family.
Yorinobu's wife, Yorin-in (1601-1666) was the daughter of Katō Kiyomasa.
By the end of his life, Yorinobu had achieved junior 2nd court rank (ju-ni-i), as well as holding the title of dainagon ("major counselor").
Yorinobu had four children:
his successor Tokugawa Mitsusada, Yorizumi, the founder of the Iyo-Saijo Domain, Inaba-hime, who married Ikeda Mitsunaka of the Tottori Domain, and Matsuhime, who married Matsudaira Nobuhira of the Yoshii Domain.
Following his death, he was referred to by the title Nanryū-In 南龍院.
In 1915,
Yorinobu was posthumously promoted to senior 2nd court rank (shō-ni-i).

It was formerly a separate city in and of itself, and the royal capital of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. A number of famous historical sites are located in Shuri, including Shuri Castle, the Shureimon gate, Sunuhyan-utaki (a sacred space of the native Ryukyuan religion), and royal mausoleum Tamaudun, all of which are designated World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Originally established as a castle town surrounding the royal palace, Shuri ceased to be the capital when the kingdom was abolished and incorporated into Japan as Okinawa prefecture. In 1896, Shuri was made a ward (区, ku) of the new prefectural capital, Naha, though it was made a separate city again in 1921. In 1954, it was merged again into Naha. - - - More in the WIKIPEDIA ! ..............................................................................................................................................

Ceramics from the Jōmon-period Uzahama Site (宇佐浜遺跡) resemble those found in the Amami Islands. Chūzan Seikan records the prayers of the Kunigami council for the recovery of Shō Sei after an abortive attempt to occupy Amami Ōshima in 1537, while Kyūyō recounts the appointment of the son of the Kunigami Oyakata as aji after the successful takeover of the Amami Islands by Shō Gen in 1571. Kunigami District was established in 1896 and, upon the abolition of Kunigami magiri, Kunigami Village was founded in 1908. During the Battle of Okinawa, the area saw an influx of refugees fleeing the heavy fighting in the south. In September 1945, the occupying government merged the three villages of Kunigami, Higashi, and Ōgimi into the new city of Hentona (辺土名市); the merger was reversed the following year. - - - - - Chuzan Seikan (中山世鑑, lit. Mirror of Chūzan), compiled in 1650 by Shō Shōken, is the first official history of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. In six scrolls, the main text occupies five and an accompanying summary the sixth. Unlike later official histories such as Chūzan Seifu and Kyūyō, which were written in kanbun, Chūzan Seikan is largely written in Japanese, other than for the summary and a number of quotes in Chinese. The account of Shō Nei, whose reign saw invasion and subjugation by Satsuma, opens with the statement that the kingdom had been in subordinate vassal status to the Shimazu clan since the Eikyō era. The account of the siring of Shunten by Minamoto no Tametomo was similarly exploited during the Meiji period and after to help legitimize the annexation of the kingdom and its reconfiguration first as the Ryūkyū Domain and subsequently as Okinawa Prefecture. - - - More in the WIKIPEDIA ! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: .

The ancient road Rokujuri-goe Kaido
Over 1200 years, this road has preserved traces of historical events
"Rokujuri-goe Kaido,"
an ancient road connecting the Shonai plain and the inland area is said to have opened about 1200 years ago. This road was the only road between Shonai and the inland area. It was a precipitous mountain road from Tsuruoka city to Yamagata city passing over Matsune, Juo-toge, Oami, Sainokami-toge, Tamugimata and Oguki-toge, then going through Shizu, Hondoji and Sagae. It is said to have existed already in ancient times but it is not clear when this road was opend.
The oldest theory says
that this road was opened as a governmental road connecting the Dewa kokufu government which was located in Fujishima town (now Tsuruoka city) and the county offices of the Mogami and Okitama areas. But there are many other theories as well.
In the Muromachi and Edo periods,
which were a time of prosperity for mountain worship, it became a lively road with pilgrims not only from the local area, but also from the Tohoku and Kanto areas heading to Mt. Yudono as "Oyama mairi" (mountain pilgrimage) custom was booming.
During the age of Provincial Wars, the Mogami clan and Shonai clan fought fierce battles with each other over their territories. The road was full of troops and battle flags in those days. On the other hand it was also a vital road for common people, they carried seafood and candles from Shonai, and safflower, cotton, beans and leaf tobacco from the inland area on their backs.
From the Meiji year 30 (around the 1900s),
this road was not used much as a new road was opened. But today this ancient road covered in moss is still rich with historic remains.

Temple Manpuku-Ji 満福寺 Sanki Do 三鬼堂 Hall for the three Demons
山号を「教王山」、院号を「遍照光院」/ 栃木県栃木市旭町22-27 Tochigi



Main deity is 大日如来 Dainichi Nyorai.
Also enshrined are
開運厄除大師 Kaiun Yakuyoke Daishi
三鬼尊 Sanki Son
子授け観音 Kosodate Kannon
縁結び歓喜天 Enmusubi Kankiten
身代り地蔵尊 Migawari Jizo and others
- The three Oni statues (red, blue and black) were maybe made by 左甚五郎 Hidari Jingoro or by Jocho (? - 1057).
戦後、閻魔大王の縁日の16日に合わせ、1月と8月の16日に縁日がひらかれてにぎわったが、この鬼は閻魔大王に仕える地獄の獄卒ではなく、江戸と日光を往来する修験行者によって尊崇されたヤマの守護神と推察される。ちなみに、広島県宮島の弥山に「三鬼堂」があり福徳・知恵・降伏を司る三鬼大権現が祀られ、同じく麓の大聖院（真言宗御室派）の摩尼殿にも祀られている。

「酒屋荒し」の鬼
昔々ある冬の晩、お寺の近くの酒屋に大男が来て「酒をくれ」と大きな徳利を出しました。びっくりした酒屋の主人が、大徳利にあふれるほど酒を注いで渡すと、大男は小銭をおいて暗い夜道に消えていきました。
あくる朝主人がその小銭をたしかめると、土間に木の葉が数枚落ちているだけでした。次の晩もその次の晩も同じことが起きたので、奇妙に思った主人はこっそり大男の後をつけていったのですが、お寺の境内で見失ってしまいました。
このことをお寺の住職におそるおそる相談したところ、三鬼堂の赤鬼・青鬼・黒鬼のうちまん中の青鬼が酒の臭いのすることがわかりました。そこで酒屋の主人はある日近所の男たちの力を借り、お寺の三鬼堂に上りこみ青鬼を鉄のクサリで縛ってしまいました。それからというもの、その酒屋に大男があらわれなくなりました。

「鬼門除け」の話
この三鬼尊は、江戸時代に当地の都賀郡部屋村富吉の石塚家から当山に寄進されたと伝えられています。石塚家には立派な長屋門があり、その階上部分に祀られていたといいます。しかし、石塚家から当山に寄進された理由はさだかではありません。
部屋村では、古くから巴波川（うずまがわ）の舟運河岸が栄え、渡良瀬川・利根川・荒川を経由して江戸との交易がさかんに行われました。大きな荷物はこの部屋村で陸揚げし、中小の荷は小舟で巴波川を上り栃木の町（今の入舟町河岸）まで運ばれました。
栃木の町は部屋村の上流、北東の方角に当ります。北東は丑寅（うしとら）の方角、つまり鬼門です。部屋村では毎年のように巴波川の出水に見舞われ、家屋が水に浸かったり、実った稲が全滅する年もありました。巴波川の出水は部屋村の人々にとって最大の災いでした。この災いを除くため、三鬼尊が鬼門の方角にある栃木町の当山に寄進され、「鬼門除け」とされたとしても不思議ではありません。

「山の霊鬼」の話
当山の開祖朝海法印は山に入って厳しい修行を行う修験僧でした。開創以来、当山は修験道のご祈祷を行う真言寺院で、日光の山や峰での修行に向う行者さんの宿泊所になっていたにちがいありません。
部屋村の石塚家は大きな屋敷をもった名家だったそうで、舟運でこの地にやってくる人の宿にもなり宿泊者のなかには修験の行者もいて、長屋門に祀られている三鬼尊を旅や修行の守り神として敬拝していたことは想像に難くありません。
当山と石塚家の縁をつないだのは、方角や吉凶運などに詳しいこの修験の行者たちに相違なく、部屋村の人々の洪水の悩みを聞き、巴波川上流の栃木町（鬼門の方角）で彼らの宿になっている当山に三鬼尊を寄進することを人々に勧め、自分らが背負って舟で運んだものと思われます。
この場合の三鬼尊とは、山を神仏として敬う人たちが、住む里に山の恵みをもたらす「山の霊鬼（霊力）」のことで、前日光・古峰神社の天狗にも通じます。
