Mizuguchi Shrine
甲賀市水口町宮の前３−１４
A shrine located in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). It enshrines Oo-Mizuguchi Sukune-no-Mikoto as its main deity and hosts the Mizuguchi Hikiyama Festival.
History
It is believed to have been established by a branch of the Monobe clan to enshrine their ancestors. For a long time, it is thought to have served as an agricultural deity governing irrigation water. In the medieval period, it was regarded as the guardian deity of Daikou-ji Temple, and during the Edo period, it received protection from the Kato clan, the lords of Mizuguchi Domain. Rebuilding of the shrine buildings and the transfer of the deity (Senshu) took place during the Kanbun and Shoutoku eras.
