Nihonmatsu Shrine
二本松市本町1丁目61
A prefectural shrine (kensha) located in Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. It is also known as 'Goryosha' (The Two Shrines) because Kumano Gongen and Hachiman Gongen are enshrined together. It hosts the main festival (reidaisai) of the 'Nihonmatsu Lantern Festival,' which is one of Japan's three great lantern festivals.
Enshrined deities
Izanagi & Izanami, Hachiman Okami, Empress Jingu
History
The shrine's origins date back to the Kuan era when Ando Morinaga enshrined Kumano Gongen. Later, Hachiman Daijin, the tutelary deity of the Hatakeyama clan, was added to the enshrinement. In 1643 CE (Kan'ei 20), Taniwa Mitsushige relocated the shrine to its current site and opened it to the domain's residents as the chief guardian shrine (sochinju) of the Nihonmatsu Domain. The current shrine buildings were rebuilt in 1806 CE (Bunka 3).
