Ara Shrine
赤穂市坂越
Located in Akō City, Hyōgo Prefecture, this shrine is known for its Autumn Grand Festival, considered the last autumn festival in the western Harima region, as well as other annual rituals such as the Nagoshi no Oharae (midsummer purification rite).
History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but old documents state that it is an ancient shrine where a statue of Susanoo-no-Mikoto was created during the reign of Empress Suiko and enshrined as a deity of the five grains. From the mid-Edo period onward, the shrine's structure was established and refined by the head farmer (Ōzōya) of Shiogaya Village and the local parishioners.
