Taisai Shrine
三次市三次町１１１２−２
Located at the foot of Mount Hiko in Miyo City, Hiroshima Prefecture, this shrine is also known as the model for the manga 'Asagiri no Miko' (The Priestess of Asagiri).
History
Legend states that the shrine was founded in 808 CE (Daido 3) when the deity was invited from Fukiage Island in Aoyanagi Village, Shinmon District, Izumo Province. During the Battle of Sekigahara, the Sanjiki clan, who sided with the Western Army, were stripped of their lands. Subsequently, the shrine was revered by figures such as Fukushima Masanori and Asano Nagaharu. The current shrine buildings were reconstructed after the previous structures were destroyed in 1658 CE (Manji 1).

This shrine is situated in the mountains, characterized by the greenery of the surrounding peaks and a refreshing atmosphere. The grounds feature sacred stones, and the water at the purification fountain (temizuya) is renowned for its clarity. Parking is accessible via a narrow road next to the torii gate leading into the premises. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are provided as pre-written copies. The surrounding area serves as a trekking course, so visitors should be cautious on the paths.
