Hizawa Shrine - Kanra District

Minamimaki Village Designated Important Cultural Property “Five Bills with Serizawa Shrine Main Hall” Serizawa Shrine, enshrined in Minamimaki Village Serizawa, is located on the right side of the mountain on the right side of Ueno toward Prefectural Road 45. This shrine was renamed in 1907 (Meiji 40), and before that it was called “Shrine Shrine”. In 1877 (Meiji 10), the people of Serizawa village discussed and joined the seven shrines of the village and the eleven gods. In 1881, the temple was rebuilt with donations from Minami Makiya Twelve Village. The form of the main shrine is a Sangensha style that is rare in the prefecture. It is thought that it was built in the Edo period in 1722 by the general characteristics and the remaining building cards. In addition, there are a total of 23 munition cards and sumi-ban bills left in the main hall, five of which are valuable to show that there was a remodeling system for the year. The torii seen from the approach is built in the Edo period in 1689, and is said to be the oldest torii gate made of stone. In 1959, it was designated as an Important Cultural Property designated by Minamimaki Village. (From "JA Kanraku Tomioka HP" and precincts on the precincts) Serizawa Shrine Setsubun Festival It is an annual event that takes place on a grand scale within the precincts of Serizawa Shrine. We pray for family safety, traffic safety and good harvests. Anyone can take part in the sowing of the beans if you pay the first panicle. (From Minamimaki-mura HP) Local performing arts and cultural property “Kakura at Serizawa Shrine” Minamimaki Village's intangible folk cultural property is the Kagura of Serizawa Shrine. It is called “Tenno Iwado Kagura” and is said to be an ancient thing of Tenno Iwado in Kojiro. There are also reports that all the villages in Sakai are all Shinto, have many Kudo surnames, and come from Yusuke Kudo in the Kamakura period. Kagura has become difficult to inherit only by the people of the Kudo family, and the Kagura Preservation Society has been formed in 1927 to make it possible for everyone to survive. (From the site “The Nippon Foundation Library”) Enter the west from “Serizawa Community Center” beside the prefectural road 45 on the map, and follow the narrow road to the top of the slope where the last private house is located. Above the private house, it seems that it is possible to go up by car on the road with concrete, but some roads were broken on the way, so it was quite a slope and distance when climbing on foot. The shrine is on the retaining wall, and both the stone torii gates at the entrance are engraved with a forehead engraved with "Kai Daimyo Shrine". There are Gotenden and Kaguraden in the precincts. The front of the chapel is entirely glass doors and you can see the ceiling picture of the chapel. The sculptures of shoji papers in the main hall are also excellent.
