Chin Shrine

〒399-6303 長野県塩尻市奈良井68

4.2(148)

As the chief guardian shrine of the former Narai Village, its main hall (honden), a structure from the Edo period, is designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by the city.

History

Chin Shrine serves as the guardian deity of the former Narai Village. It is said that Nakahara Kanenaru originally established it at Toriizaka Pass, but after it was destroyed by fire during a war, Narai Yoshitaka relocated it to its current site. The main hall (honden) was constructed in 1664 CE (Kanbun 4) by the master carpenter Tanaka Shozaburo Shigefusa.

The shrine provides convenient amenities for worshippers, including Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) distribution, as well as the sale of Omamori (protective amulets) and Omikuji (fortune slips).
