Kakou Shrine
〒036-1344 青森県弘前市高岡神馬野８７
This shrine originated as the mausoleum of Shina Nobumasa, the fourth daimyo of the Hirosaki Domain. It features shrine buildings designated as Important Cultural Properties. The layout of the shrine buildings and approach was planned based on the principles of Yoshikawa Shinto.
History
The shrine began as the mausoleum of Shina Nobumasa, who is enshrined as a deity. The main hall (honden) and worship hall (haiden) were constructed in 1712 CE (Shoutoku 2), arranged according to Yoshikawa Shinto ideology. In the early Meiji period, the shrine was renamed Kakou Shrine. In 1877 CE (Meiji 10), Shina Tadamitsu, the founder of the domain, was jointly enshrined.

What visitors say
A shrine surrounded by abundant nature with a sacred atmosphere. The Important Cultural Property shrine buildings have a unique structure and high historical value; however, due to aging, crowdfunding and volunteer activities are being conducted for maintenance. An adjacent history museum offers omamori (amulets) and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps).
