Ouma Taisha (Ouma-zama-Ikumaduhiko Shrine)
生駒市壱分町１５２７−１
A shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) that enshrines Mount Ikoma as its sacred object (shintai). It has been revered since ancient times as a deity governing fire. There is a tradition of offering fire-drill wood (hi-tsubaki-ki) used in the Daijōsai (Imperial New Year's Harvest Festival), and traditional events such as the Fire Deity Festival (Kagami-sai) are still observed.
History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, but it is one of Japan's oldest shrines, serving as the ancestral deity (ujigami) of the seventeen villages of the Ikoma Valley. During the Heian period, it had an associated temple (jingū-ji). In the Kamakura period, the Hachiman deity, the guardian god of the warrior class, was co-enshrined. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, the associated temple was abolished, and the shrine was designated as a Prefectural Shrine (kenja).
