Nagara Shrine
館林市台宿町５−３９
Regarded as the chief guardian shrine of Karasuyama, this shrine enshrines the local tutelary deity. Since the Taisho era, the Ebisu-ko (a devotional assembly dedicated to Ebisu) has been held, attracting crowds to stalls selling kumade (lucky rakes) for business prosperity.

History
The main enshrined deity is Fujiwara Nagara, who once ruled this region as the governor of Ueno Province and was later enshrined as a subsidiary deity of Kasuga Taisha (Kasuga Grand Shrine) after his death. The founding date is unknown, but it is said to have begun when Akai Yamashiro-no-kami Terumitsu of the Akai clan constructed Karasuyama Castle and invited the deity from Setogai Village to reside within the grounds of Tenpuji Temple. In the 5th year of Kyoho (1720 CE), the shrine was granted the rank of Shoi-ichi (First Rank), and during the Meiji era, it was designated as a Goshu (Prefectural Shrine).
