Nagaya Shrine

本巣市市長屋1117−1

3.9(22)

Located in Minosho City, Gifu Prefecture, this shrine hosts the 'Makake Matsuri' (Horse Racing Festival) annually on August 1st and 2nd.

History

Founded during the Eisho era, the shrine was relocated to its current site in 1532 (Tenbun 1) by Nagaya Kyouko, the lord of Aiba Castle, becoming the guardian deity of the castle. Although the shrine buildings were destroyed by fire in 1688, they were rebuilt in 1691. In 1868, the shrine was renamed Nagaya Ushitora Tenno, but reverted to Nagaya Shrine the following year.

What visitors say

The shrine grounds are spacious, and while there is a parking lot in front, spaces are limited. Highlights include the main hall, gable carvings, and old komainu (stone lion-dogs) with unique expressions. Every August, the impressive Makake Matsuri (Horse Racing Festival) is held, along with events such as mochi-maki (rice cake throwing).
