Kasuga Shrine

福井県あわら市東善寺

An ancient shrine located in the Honjo district of Awara City, Fukui Prefecture. It is known as the chief guardian shrine of the Toogo region and possesses a main hall (honden) built in the old Sankeisha-zukuri style, one of the oldest in the prefecture. The shrine grounds also feature wild-growing 'Yabutsubaki' (wild camellia), designated as a natural monument of Awara City.

History

Kasuga Shrine was founded in the late Heian period, boasting a history of over 800 to 900 years. Once serving as the chief guardian shrine of the Toogo region, which was included in the Kawaguchi-sho estate, it hosted grand festivals in spring and autumn where portable shrines (mikoshi) from each village gathered together.
