Takara Taisha Okumiya (Takara Grand Shrine, Inner Shrine)

日本、〒839-0851 福岡県久留米市御井町

4.3(122)

A shrine located on Mount Takara in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is the Ichinomiya (first-ranked shrine) of Chikugo Province, and its shrine buildings are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

History

Tradition holds that the shrine was established in the 55th or 78th year of Emperor Nintoku's reign, or in the first year of Emperor Ryu-chu's reign. During the Edo period, the prevailing theory identified the enshrined deity with Takeuchi Sukune, but since the Meiji era, no specific identification has been made. The current shrine buildings were donated by Arima Yoritoshi, the third daimyo of the Kurume Domain, with the main hall (honden) completed in 1660.

What visitors say

The Inner Shrine (Okumiya) is a quiet and spiritually potent place, reachable by a 10- to 20-minute walk along a mountain path from the main Takara Taisha. While the path is maintained, it features steep gradients and unpaved sections, so wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended for worship. The shrine grounds feature Katsusui (victorious water), and many worshippers visit on days of the Tiger (Hinoe or Tomo days, generally referred to as Tiger days).
