Haruna Shrine: Soryumon (Double Dragon Gate)
〒370-3341 群馬県高崎市榛名山町
This shrine enshrines Mount Haruna as a kami (deity). It is dedicated to the spirit of Mount Haruna, which is considered one of the 'Three Mountains of Kozuke.' The shrine has a history of Shinbutsu-shugo (the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism), and a three-story pagoda (known as the Shinpo-den Hall) still stands within the grounds.

History
It is said that the site was established as a place of worship in 586 CE (Yomei 1). It is also recorded in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) as a minor shrine in Gunma District. Historically, it practiced Shinbutsu-shugo (syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism); from the medieval period onward, it was known as 'Mankyo Gongen,' with Jizo Bosatsu (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) regarded as its honji (original Buddhist form). In 1868 CE (Meiji 1), the enshrined deities were changed to the current two kami: Hibusa-no-Kami and Haniyama-hime-no-Mikoto.
