絶対に訪れたい 『絶景』
アラハバキ祠
相模国
結界守護神

時代の権力者に封印された禁忌の神社
相模国に唯一現存する祠

記紀神話や伝統的な民話などに登場しない謎の神で諸説あるが、「荒覇吐」「荒吐」「荒脛巾」「阿良波々岐」などと表示され、現代でも全国各地の神社でひっそり祀られている。但し、客人神（門客神）となっている例が多い。これは、「元々は主神だったのが、客人（まれびと、まろうど）の神に主客転倒したもの」と云われている。

神社では、脛（はぎ）に佩く「脛巾（はばき）」の神、また「足の神」とされてきた。（多賀城市の荒脛巾神社の祭神「おきゃくさん」は、旅人らから脚絆等を奉げられてきたが、下半身全般をも癒すとされ、男根像も奉げられる。

明治の神仏分離以降、各神社の祭神は記紀神話の神々に比定され変更されたが、荒脛巾の場合は「脛」の字も相まって、大和王朝（神武天皇）に敗れた側の「長脛彦」とされることがある。

古史古伝『東日流外三郡誌』の影響力が強く、アラハバキ「縄文の神」説、「蝦夷の神」説は定着している。遮光器土偶のイメージとしても世間には広まった。

He is a mysterious deity who does not appear in the Kojiki and Nihon shoki myths or traditional folk tales, and there are various theories about him, but he is written as "Arahabaki," "Arahabaki," "Arahabaki," "Arahabaki," etc., and even today he is quietly enshrined in shrines all over the country. However, in many cases he is enshrined as a guest deity (monkyaku deity). This is because it is said that "he was originally the chief deity, but became a guest deity (marebito, marodo) in a reversal of roles."

At shrines, he has been regarded as the deity of the "habaki," which is worn on the legs, or as the "god of the feet." (The deity "Okyakusan" of Arahabaki Shrine in Tagajo City has been given leg warmers and other offerings by travelers, but is also said to heal the lower body in general, and phallic statues are also offered to him.

Since the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji period, the deities of each shrine have been changed to be identified with gods from the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki myths, but in the case of Arahabaki, due to the inclusion of the character "shin" (shank), he is sometimes considered to be "Nagasunehiko," who was on the side defeated by the Yamato dynasty (Emperor Jimmu).

The ancient history and legend "Tounichiryu Gaisangunshi" has had a strong influence, and the theory that Arahabaki is a "Jomon god" and an "Ezo god" has become firmly established. It has also become widely known as the image of a sunshade clay figurine.
