神奈川西部、小田急線の走る秦野市、伊勢崎市の寺社を巡るポタリング。
ヤビツ峠を登るのが大人気のエリアですが、今回は登らず寺社巡りをします。
意外と、アップダウンのあるハードな道のりでした。
A leisurely bike ride visiting temples and shrines in Hadano and Isehara cities in western Kanagawa, an area served by the Odakyu Line.
While the region is hugely popular for cycling up Yabitsu Pass, this time I skipped the climb to focus on visiting the temples and shrines instead.
It turned out to be a surprisingly tough route, with plenty of ups and downs.
秦野駅を出て目指すのが、出雲大社相模分祀です。名前の通り、出雲大社の系列の神社です。口コミも多く、規模も大きく、意外なスポットでした。
After leaving Hadano Station, the destination is Izumo Taisha Sagami Bunshi. As the name suggests, it is a shrine affiliated with Izumo Taisha. It turned out to be a surprisingly impressive spot—large in scale and with plenty of positive reviews.
次に向かうのは、白笹稲荷神社です。距離は出雲大社から近いです。ここも、立派な大きな神社でした。
Our next stop is Shirasasa Inari Shrine. It is located close to Izumo Taisha. This, too, was a magnificent, large shrine.
弘法山公園を越えて比々多神社へ。かなり、田舎の神社という感じですが、規模も大きく、口コミの多い神社です。丹沢の里山の神社という感じでした。
We then went past Kobo-yama Park to Hibita Shrine. It felt quite like a rural shrine, but it was large in scale and had many positive reviews. It had the feel of a shrine in the foothills of Tanzawa.
伊勢原駅方面に向かい、伊勢原大神宮に寄ります。
大山方面に向かい、日向薬師（日向山宝城坊）に向かいます。信仰の山である大山の登山口の一つであり、知名度も高い寺院です。
Head towards the Mount Oyama area and make your way to Hinata Yakushi (Hinatasan Hojobo). This well-known temple serves as one of the trailheads for Mount Oyama, a mountain revered as a site of religious faith.
帰りは、交通の便が良い本厚木駅までいき、輪行で戻りました。
インスタもよろしくお願いします。
For the return trip, I headed to Hon-Atsugi Station—which has excellent transport connections—and took my bike back with me on the train.
