Kibitsuhiko Shrine
福山市神辺町上御領
A shrine revered as the first shrine of the old Bitchu Province, featuring a main hall (honden) built during the Edo period that is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. In February and September, a mysterious phenomenon known as 'Seichoukou' (central axis light) occurs, where the sun's rays reflect off the sacred object and pass through the interior of the building.
History
It is said to have been founded in 806 CE (Doutou 1) by inviting the deity from Kibitsu Shrine, which was the first shrine of the old Kibi Province. From the medieval period onward, it was revered as the first shrine of Bitchu Province. During the Edo period, it received donations of shrine lands from the Mizuno clan and others. Today, it is a shrine listed in the separate table of the Association of Shinto Shrines and serves as the chief guardian shrine of the old Bitchu Province.
