Hodai Shrine
〒399-8303 長野県安曇野市穂高6079
This shrine is known as the guardian of the Japanese Alps and enshrines the ancestral deity of the Atsumi clan. It is famous for its annual major festival (Mikoshi Matsuri) held every September 27.
History
The founding date is unknown, but it is believed that the shrine was established when the Atsumibe clan enshrined their ancestral deity. Originally a single structure, it was divided into three halls—Omiya, Minami-gu, and Wakamiya—during the medieval period. In the 18th year of Tenbun (1549 CE), it was referred to as 'Gosho Daimyojin'. It was designated as the third-ranked shrine in Shinano Province and classified as a Meishin Taisha (major shrine of great kami).
