Hirota Shrine
〒030-0861 青森県青森市長島２丁目１３−５
Located in Nagashima, Aomori City, this shrine enshrints Shindo Masaji as the 'Guardian Deity of Aomori,' honoring his foundational role in the development and expansion of the region.
History
The shrine's origins are traced to Fujiwara no Michikata, Governor of Mutsu, who established the 'Yamato-no-Yashiro' (Shrine of the Emishi) to pacify the Emishi people. In 1625 CE (Kan'ei 2), Tsugaru Nobumatsu of the Hirosaki Domain relocated the shrine to the center of town as a Ujigami (local tutelary deity) to protect Aomori Port. Additionally, Shindo Masaji, who dedicated himself to the pioneering of Aomori, revered this shrine, and he was later enshrined here as a benefactor of development under the title 'Guardian Deity of Aomori.'
