Kasuga Shrine

福井県あわら市柿原

Located in the Honjo district of Awara City, Fukui Prefecture, Kasuga Shrine is an ancient shrine beloved by locals. It features a main hall (honden) built in the old San-kensha-style architecture, one of the oldest in the prefecture. Within the precincts grows the Yabutsubaki (wild camellia), designated as a natural monument of Awara City.

History

Kasuga Shrine was founded in the late Heian period, boasting a history of over 800 to 900 years. It once served as the head shrine (so-chinju-sha) for the ten villages included in the former Kawaguchino-sho estate. Grand festivals were held in spring and autumn, during which portable shrines (mikoshi) from each village would gather together.
