History
It is believed that during the medieval period, the Soma clan, lords of Nedo Castle, invited Myoken Bosatsu (the Bodhisattva Myoken) to be enshrined. In the early Meiji period, the enshrined deity was changed from Myoken Bosatsu to Amenomakatsu-nushi-no-kami, and the name was changed from Myoken Shrine to Hokusei Shrine. In 1908, seven nearby shrines were merged into this site.

Located along National Route 6, passing through the torii gate from the busy road reveals a grand shrine complex and a well-maintained precinct. The grounds feature rare koma-gamae (stone turtle guardians) and numerous subsidiary shrines, creating a solemn atmosphere. A parking lot is available, and Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the nearby Shibasaki Shrine.
