Kuizen Shrine
In the 4th year of Jogan (862), Todo, the grandson of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, a great conquering shogun in the early Heian period, solicited Susanoo no Mikoto. It is an old shrine that is said to have been built as the guardian deity of Hirano-go in one hall. In the first year of Kenkyu (1190) at the beginning of the Kamakura period, Kumano Sansho Gongen was solicited and enshrined in the second hall, and furthermore, by imperial order of Emperor Go-Daigo, Izanami no Mikoto and Hayatama Oson were enshrined. Kotosaka-no-no-mikoto (Yatamano-no-mikoto) was enshrined in the third hall. All three shrine buildings are nationally important cultural properties. It is the only renga hall left in Japan, and although the renga society had ceased to exist after the Meiji era, it was revived in 1987, and the Hirano Horaku Renka Society is held regularly. In the precincts, there is a large camphor tree (a prefectural natural monument) that is said to be between 800 and 1000 years old, as well as a giant ginkgo tree that is about 500 years old. It is said that if you make a wish to this giant tree, your breast milk will improve and your breast ailments will be cured. Every year on April 13th, the Otaue Shinto ritual (a national intangible folk cultural property) is held to pray for a rich harvest and financial fortune, and an event is held in which seeds of good fortune given by the gods are sown in a shrine shaped like a rice field. I am.
