Yamazakura Shrine
高山市本町２丁目６５
A shrine known for its horse-head (Bato) ema market, affectionately called "Bato-sama" by locals. It has a tradition of selling ema (votive tablets) named after the famous horse Yamazakura.
History
The shrine was founded in the early Edo period on the site of the stable of Yamazakura, the beloved horse of Takayama Castle Lord Kanamori Yorunao. Yamazakura was credited with saving Yorunao during the Meireki Great Fire and was assigned a stable in Nakamuki-machi in its later years. The shrine relocated to its current location in 1936. The fire watchtower within the shrine grounds is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property.
