Fujiyoshi Shrine
村上市三之町１１−１２
Situated on the site of the former Murakami Castle, this shrine enshrines the successive castle lords of the Murakami domain and their founding ancestor. The shrine buildings, constructed in the Gongen-zukuri (Deity Manifestation) style, are historical structures that served to ward off evil from the domain's ominous direction.
Enshrined deities
Hachiman Okami, Ukanomitama-no-Okami (Inari), Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
Established in 1717 as a spirit shrine for Naito Nobunari, the half-brother of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the founding lord of the Murakami domain. The current shrine buildings were erected in 1849, and the successive castle lords, along with the Great Deity of Hachiman and the Great Deity of Inari, were enshrined together. During the Meiji era, Sugawara no Michizane was added to the enshrinement, and the shrine was elevated to the status of a Prefectural Shrine in the Taisho era.

Blessings
As successive castle lords prayed for the prosperity of their descendants and the longevity of their family fortunes, the shrine is believed to offer blessings for safe childbirth and child-rearing. Located in the direction of the Ghost Gate (an ominous direction in traditional Japanese cosmology), it is also revered as a deity for warding off misfortune and bringing victory. Additionally, because it enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, it is also regarded as a deity of learning.
What visitors say
Located near the ruins of Murakami Castle, the shrine grounds offer a view of Gyuushu Mountain, where the castle once stood. The main hall, built in the Gongen-zukuri style, features exquisite carvings and a charming atmosphere. Pilgrims can receive Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) and handwritten castle stamps. A parking lot is available behind the main hall. In spring, the cherry blossoms are beautiful, allowing visitors to enjoy seasonal scenery.
