清荒神　再訪

12月の初め、久しぶりに宝塚市の清荒神を訪ねました。紅葉シーズン終盤、8年ぶりの再訪でした。
平日ということもあり、その静かな佇まいに再び触れることができ心が落ち着きました。
大勢の初詣の参拝客で賑わうお正月の頃もいいのですが、この日のようなひっそりとした「荒神さん」も風情があり、また来てみたいと思わせる場所です。

In early December, I visited Kiyoshikōjin in Takarazuka City for the first time in quite a while. It was the tail end of the autumn foliage season, and my first visit there in eight years.
As it was a weekday, the place was quiet, and being able to once again experience its serene atmosphere brought a sense of calm to my heart.
While the New Year period, bustling with crowds of visitors for the first shrine visit of the year, has its own charm, the hushed “KOJIN-SAN” I encountered on this day was equally evocative—making it a place I felt drawn to visit again.
