気多大社は、能登国の一宮となっている神社です。

創建は有史以前で、第8代の孝元天皇の御代に、気多大社が祀っている大己貴命が、出雲から300余神を率いて来降したという話が社伝に残っているようです

Keta-Taisha Shrine is located in the upper part of the Noto Peninsula. 
Keta-Taisha Shrine has a long history. It was founded before written history in Japan. 
Tradition says Keta-Taisha Shrine was built at the age of Emperor "Kogen", the eighth Emperor of Japan. 
There is no tangible evidence that Emperor "Kogen" existed. However, it is considered that Kibitsuhiko-no-Mikoto and "HIMIKO", who first ever united Japan in the third century were a brother and a sister of Emperor "Kogen".


If you get off a bus at Ichinomiya Bus Stop and walk to the north, you will see the Torii Gate of Keta-Taisha Shrine. 
This Torii gate is the second Torii Shrine of Keta-Taisha Shrine.




If you walk on the approach further to the north, you will see "Shinmon" Gate. 
The gate was built in the late sixteenth century. 
It is designated as an important cultural property of Japan. 
At the gate, a shrine maiden welcomed visitors.



As far as I know, it is uncommon among other shrines.

Behind the "Shinmon" Gate, the Hall of Worship and the Main Hall of Keta-Taisha are located. 
The Hall of Worship is very glorious and impressive. It was rebuilt in 1653.



Behind the Hall of Worship, the Main Hall is located. 
"Okuninushi", known as "Daikokuten" is enshrined at the Main Hall. 
A mythology says "Okuninushi" came from Izumo Area, Shimane Prefecture and conquered this area.



The Main Hall is rebuilt in 1787. 
The Hall of worship and the Main Hall are designated as important properties of Japan.


Keta-Taisha Shrine has very wide forest behind the Main Hall. 
The area of the forest is approximately thirty thousands of square meters.



It is prohibited to enter the forest. The forest is kept calm and solemn.
