Nara Mabusuko Shrine

〒630-8104 奈良県奈良市奈良阪町2489

4.3(172)

Located in Nara City, this shrine enshrines Heijou-Tsubuhiko-Ookami in the central hall, Kasuga-Miya Tenno in the left hall, and Kasuga-O in the right hall. The precincts feature a giant camphor tree designated as a Natural Monument, and the dedication of the Okina Dance, an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

History

The shrine's origins date back to 771 CE (Houki 2), when Prince Shiki was enshrined at the site of the Kasuga Rikyu retreat in Nara-yama, where he had retired for medical treatment. It was formerly known as Nara-zaka Kasuga-sha and is a successor shrine to the Engishiki-listed shrine 'Nara Mabusuko Shrine' in the Yodo-no-Kami District of Yamato Province. The ritual rebuilding of the shrine every 20 years was maintained even during wartime, and it is deeply revered as the tutelary deity of the Nara-zaka district.
