Kahayama Sasa Gamo Shrine (Kahayama Shrine) Hon-gu and Oya-gu
桜川市真壁町長岡８０９
A shrine enshrining the deity of Kahayama faith, located at the summit of Mount Kahayama. It is the collective name for the Hon-gu (main sanctuary) and Oya-gu (parent sanctuary). Since ancient times, it has been revered as a deity granting bountiful harvests, protection from fire, and warding off epidemics.
History
It is said that Emperor Ojin (Yamato Takeru) built the shrine based on a divine oracle when he pacified the Eastern Barbarians, or that the Sasa-be clan, the governors of Hitachi Province, enshrined their ancestral deity. The shrine was destroyed by fire during the Tenga Rebellion but was rebuilt in 1546 CE (Tenshō 15) by the Makabe clan. In the early modern period, it took the form of a unified temple-shrine complex and was revered as a sacred site of Shugendō (mountain asceticism).

The spacious grounds are well-maintained, offering a relaxed atmosphere with a small stream flowing through the area. A highlight is the Tengu masks displayed on both sides of the worship hall (haiden), along with the many Komainu (lion-dog statues) placed throughout.
