Haguro Shrine

筑西市甲37

4.2(226)

This is the tutelary deity shrine of Shimotsuke and serves as the central shrine of the Shimotsuke Seven Haguro. Every year in late July, the regular festival for the Shimotsuke Gion Festival is held here.

History

The shrine's history began in 1481 CE (Bunmei 13) when Mizutani Katsu, the lord of Shimotsuke, invited Haguro Gongen from the Dewa Sanzan to pray for the safety of his domain. Subsequently, Mizutani Masamura established additional Haguro shrines in the surrounding area, and these were collectively known as the Shimotsuke Seven Haguro.
