「こんぴらさん」という名前で親しまれている香川県の金刀比羅宮（ことひらぐう）。参道入口から御本宮までの石段の数は785段。奥社まで行くと1,368段。この長い長い階段を登ってはじめてお参りすることができる神社です。全国の金刀比羅神社・琴平神社・金比羅神社の総本宮。海上交通の守り神として古くから漁師や船乗りの信仰を集め、全国から多くの人がやってきます。

香川県のローカル鉄道ことでんに乗ってお花見をする時は、桜の挿頭丘（かざしがおか）をこえて終点の琴平まで。「こんぴらさん」として親しまれている金刀比羅宮の桜もオススメです。高松港からだと高松築港駅からことでんにのって行くのが便利。階段を登ってかいた汗は、仏生山駅で途中下車して仏生山温泉で流すコースが最高です！

Kotohira-gū – Wikipedia

Kotohira-gū (also known as Konpira-dai-gongen, Konpira-san, or Konpira Shrine in English) is a Shinto shrine in the town of Kotohira in Nakatado District, Kagawa, Japan. This shrine is patron of sea ship transport and sailor.

Located at 521 metres (1,709 ft) halfway to the top of Mount Zōzu, the shrine stands at the end of a long path, with 785 steps to the main shrine and a total of 1368 steps to the inner shrine. Since the Muromachi period, pilgrimages to the shrine became popular, and even today usually hundreds of visitors in a day climb the steps of Mount Zōzu. On the way to the shrine is a sake museum, stores, and stones with the names of donors carved in kanji.

Before the Meiji period, Kotohira Shrine was also a Buddhist site as well.

History

It is said to have been founded during the 1st century.[citation needed]

The principal kami of the shrine is Ō-mono-nushi-no-mikoto, a spirit associated with seafaring (also referred to as the Buddhist deity Konpira). In 1165 the spirit of Sutoku-Tennō was also enshrined.

Before the Meiji period it was known as Konpira-Daigongen, and it stood at the head of the nationwide group of shrines bearing the names Kompira and Kotohira. The ema hall is the site of prayers for safe seafaring.

From 1871 through 1946, Kotohira was officially designated one of the Kokuhei Chūsha, meaning that it stood in the mid-range of ranked, nationally significant shrines.
