Morihisa Shrine and Its Strangler Fig Tree

Legend has it that when the Taira clan was defeated in the twelfth century, Taira no Morihisa, the warrior after whom this shrine is named, was saved from certain beheading in Kamakura thanks to his worship of Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. Morihisa’s reading of the Lotus Sutra was rewarded and his prayer for help was answered, the story goes, when a great light struck the sword of his would-be executioner and broke it in two. Morihisa died years later in 1202 onboard a ship bound for Yakushima, and his spirit was enshrined here.

Of photogenic note at this sanctuary is the strangler fig tree, believed to be more than 100 years old. The columnar tree that is its host has become hollow—look for the spot where you can see through to the other side.

盛久神社與“連枝相依”的雀榕樹

根據當地的傳說，12世紀，武將平盛久在平家戰敗後，將於鎌倉遭到斬首。但由於平盛久平日里虔誠信仰慈悲為懷的觀音菩薩，情急之下，他吟誦《法華經》的誦經聲和求救的祈禱聲傳至菩薩耳中，一道聖光竟從天而降，將劊子手的斬刀劈為兩半，盛久因此倖免於難。此後的1202年，他在前往屋久島的渡船上離開人世，其御靈被供奉於此，盛久神社也因而得名。

當地有一株「連枝相依｣的雀榕樹，據說樹齡已逾百年。其枝幹相交相依，中間形成空洞，成為當地一幅絕美的風景畫。不妨來到此地，向思慕已久的異性告白，亦或向戀人、丈夫或妻子表達感激之情吧!
