Hoshimiya Shrine

名古屋市南区本星崎町宮西620

4.3(87)

An ancient shrine located in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, traditionally said to have been founded in the Asuka period. The area of Hoshizaki, which is believed to have given its name to the locality, has long been associated with legends concerning stars and meteorites.

History

This ancient shrine is traditionally said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Suika in the Asuka period and has been a center of worship since ancient times. From the Edo period onward, a theory emerged linking it to Kamiyazagami Shrine due to its proximity to the nearby Shioya district, but this has been refuted in recent years. There is also a theory that the shrine was moved to its current location when Oda Nobunaga constructed Hoshizaki Castle.

What visitors say

Situated on a high ground surrounded by a lush forest, the shrine grounds have a castle-like atmosphere enclosed by stone walls. The main hall is surrounded by numerous subsidiary shrines, including the Upper and Lower Kamiyazagami Shrines located at an even higher elevation. Visitors should be careful when navigating the stone bridges and staircases within the grounds.
