Hinoyama Shrine

〒842-0123 佐賀県神埼市神埼町的1692

4.4(322)

Located in Kanzaki City, Saga Prefecture, this shrine takes its name 'Hinoyama' by combining the character 'Hi' from Emperor Ninmyo and 'Yama' from Mount Hiei. During the periodic grand festival (Omiida Matsuri), the 'Mida Mai' (rice paddy dance), which was transmitted from Hie Taisha during the Heian period, is offered.

History

According to shrine tradition, the shrine was founded in 729 CE (Tenpyo 1) when Matsuo Taisha was enshrined here. Later, when Master Jichaku discovered a plaque of Hie-gu buried underground and reported it to the court, Emperor Ninmyo ordered that a branch deity from Hie-gu in Sakamoto, Omi Province, be co-enshrined, making it a site for imperial prayers. In 1871 (Meiji 4), the shrine was separated from Hinoyama Gokoku-ji temple due to the order separating Shinto and Buddhism, and it was designated as a prefectural shrine in 1916 (Taisho 5).
