Nakakusa Shrine

〒667-0051 兵庫県養父市八鹿町石原1755−6

4.2(96)

Located on the mid-slopes of Mount Myoken, this shrine was once considered one of the three great Myoken shrines in Japan and is a site of great spiritual power.

History

Before the early modern period, it was known as Myoken Shrine and flourished as a center of Myoken worship in the San'in region under the patronage of Yamana Sōzen and the Tokugawa shogunate. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it adopted its current name. The three-story pagoda, main hall (honden), and worship hall (haiden), among other structures, were transferred from Izumo Taisha (Izumo Grand Shrine) and are designated as Important Cultural Properties.

What visitors say

This shrine is located at the end of a mountain path. The vermilion-painted three-story pagoda and the main hall (honden) adorned with intricate carvings are truly magnificent. The contrast between the surrounding autumn foliage and the Myoken cedar trees is beautiful, and the approach path includes steep stone steps. A parking lot is within walking distance, but caution is required when driving, as the roads are narrow and rugged.
