Yaie Shrine
津和野町後田６７−５９−１
Located in Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture, this shrine is known for protecting the onikimon (evil direction) of Mitsubomatsu Castle. It is also famous for the dedication of the Sagi-mai (heron dance), a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
History
The shrine's origins are said to date back to 1428 CE (Shochō 1), when the Yoshimi clan invited a branch spirit (bunrei) from Gion Shrine to Taikodani Mountain. In 1437 CE (Eikyō 9), Yoshimi Hiroshin relocated the enshrined deity to its current location, establishing it as a shrine to protect the onikimon of Mitsubomatsu Castle. In 1867 CE (Keiō 3), the shrine name was changed from "Takimoto Gion Shrine" to its current name, "Yaie Shrine."
