Tatemachi Nagakabe Shrine

〒670-0903 兵庫県姫路市立町33

3.8(95)

This shrine enshrines Prince Atahito and his daughter, Princess Toyohime. It is well known for the custom of worshipping in yukata (traditional summer kimono) and the procession of young children during the Himeji Summer Festival.

History

The two enshrined deities have been venerated as the local kami of the Himeyama area for over a thousand years. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Ikeda Terumasa constructed Himeji Castle, the original Nagakabe-sode Shrine was incorporated into the castle grounds, making it difficult for commoners to visit. During the Edo period, Himeji Castle lord Sakakibara Masamine enshrined a portion of the deity's spirit (bunrei) in the Tatemachi district, allowing commoners to participate in the rituals while wearing yukata.

What visitors say

This small shrine is located along the street of a shopping arcade. During the yukata festival in June, a large torii gate is set up, and it is possible to receive a Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) amidst the festive atmosphere. Since the surrounding area is a bustling commercial district, visitors should be careful of traffic when visiting.
