Imamiya Shrine
鹿沼市今宮町１６９２
Located in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture, this shrine possesses the character of a branch shrine of Nikko Tosho-gu (Nikko Grand Shrine). The mobile shrine procession (yatai gyōji) of the Kanuma Imamiya Shrine Festival is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan.
History
Founded in 782 CE, the shrine enshrined the deity of Nikko Sanzo Dai-Gongen (Nikko Grand Shrine) during the Dōtō era, thereby acquiring the status of a branch shrine of Nikko Tosho-gu. In 1535 CE, when Nishi Tsunefusa constructed Kanuma Castle, the shrine was relocated to its current site. Subsequently, it was developed as the guardian shrine of Kanuma Post Station.
