Located in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, this shrine features an Okumiya (inner shrine) atop the mountain and a Honden (main hall) at the foot of the mountain. The Honmiya (main shrine) is situated on the side of the Okumiya. After the Yosa (nighttime) ritual concludes, the Honmiya remains unused until spring, during which time the Naiomiya (inner palace), located slightly below, is utilized for worship.

History

The shrine's origins trace back to the Jomon period. It is said to have begun when Emperor Suinin ordered Monobe Mimanatsume (a female deity or noble) to construct the 'Hi no Miya' (Palace of the Sun). During the reign of Empress Jito, it was granted the status of 'Etsukoku Sochinju Ichi-ku' (the First Grand Shrine of the Etsu Province). After several relocations beginning in the Heian period, it was moved to its current location in the Bunsei era. Subsequent expansions led to the completion of the current vermilion-painted grand hall.

What visitors say

This shrine is impressive for its vermilion-painted buildings and the fantastical tunnel formed by a thousand torii gates. It features a unique worship style involving the lighting of candles, and the sight of numerous candles lined up is a highlight. While many visitors attend during festivals such as the Shinko-sai (divine procession), the shrine offers a quiet atmosphere for worship at other times. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are also available.
