福山市新市町宮内
A shrine located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and the first shrine of the ancient Bitchu Province. It enshrines Ooi-kibitsu-hiko-no-mikoto (the Great Kibitsu Hiko deity) as its main deity. The site preserves numerous historical structures, including the Kagura Hall (a hall for sacred music and dance) built during the Edo period and the Main Hall (honden), which is designated as an Important Cultural Property.
History
It is said to have been founded in 806 CE (Doto 1) by inviting the deity from the first shrine of the ancient Kibi Province. It has been revered as the first shrine of Bitchu Province since the medieval period. During the Sengoku and Edo periods, it received donations of shrine lands from the Mori, Fukushima, and Mizuno clans. During the Edo period, the Main Hall, Kagura Hall, and other structures were constructed by figures such as Mizuno Katsunari.
