image

This shrine is famous in Japan for its age, as it was founded in 663 BC. It is also called Kawachinokuni Ichinomiya. The two deities enshrined here, Ame-no-Koyane-no-mikoto and Himemikami, are also worshipped at Kasuga Grand Shrine in Nara, earning Hiraoka Shrine the nickname “Moto Kasuga,” or “rooted in Kasuga. ”In January, this shrine performs a sacred “rice divination” rite (Kayu-ura Shinji), which is not open to the public. The Shugosai festival in October offers a grand spectacle with a parade of 20 futondaiko drum floats.
