Wakamiya Shrine

〒709-0412 岡山県和気郡和気町藤野1385

4.2(599)

Known as the ancestral shrine of the Wakibi clan, this site is also the birthplace of Wakikyo no Kuramaro. It features beautiful shrine buildings designated as cultural properties by Wakayama Town.

History

The shrine originated as the birthplace of the Wakibi clan, enshrining their progenitor, Totsukawabe-no-Mikoto, as the founding deity. In 1591 (Tensho 19), the main hall was damaged by flooding and relocated to its current site. In 1909 (Meiji 42), additional deities were enshrined, including Otomohiko-no-Mikoto, Wakikyo no Kuramaro, Wakikyo no Hiromushi, and various gods merged from the Kuni-zukuri Shrine.

What visitors say

The grounds are well-maintained, offering a tranquil atmosphere nestled in quiet mountains. Crossing the red bridge beyond the torii gate leads to a serene space enveloped by the scent of trees. Unusual boar-shaped guardian statues (komainu) stand before the worship hall, and seasonal flowers can be enjoyed nearby, including at the renowned Fuji Park.
