Masuda Shrine - Natori

We parked at a nearby coin parking lot and worshiped. The red stamp can be found at the 6th Tenjin Shrine nearby.

Priest god The great earth God, Okutsuhiko, Okutsuhime, and other 7 gods History The main shrine was founded in Bungo from the birth of Yamato, when Bungo Kikuchi, a family of Tadaomi Kikuchi from South Korea, settled down in Oshu during the civilian years of Emperor Hanazono (1444–1448). He came to Tekurata with a spirit from the Kasayama company in Jojo-gun. After that, Eisuke Kikuchi returned to the current location in Eisho years. It was originally called Kasayama Dairakami. At the time of the “Osaki / Kasai peasant” in 1590, Masamune Date and Mr. Mibu Sato were ordered by Hideyoshi to settle. At that time, Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Oshu as a reinforcement, and settled together with Masamune. The following year, Ieyasu and Ubu Ushigo are reportedly praying for the victory. In the first year of Bunraku (1592), Hideyoshi's command to dispatch to Korea, Masamune prayed for martial arts Nagahisa with 3,000 soldiers. In addition, the second generation of Sendai, Date Tadamune, participated in the falconry event and donated hundreds of steps around the shrine. Mayor Yasunaga (1773) Mayor Kumike Utanosuke Masazumi built the shrine, and the warrior of warrior Budomon is revered. The Kasayama Oara Shrine in Masuda Town was renamed Kasayama Shrine at the beginning of Meiji and became a village company in 1905. After the Meiji Restoration decree, the towns and villages of the Meiji government merged into Masuda Town, Tataka Village, Kamiyoda Village, Shimoyoda Village and Tekurada Village, and joined the shrines located in each village. In other words, they are the Shinmei Shrine of Tadaka, Tenjin Shrine of Kamikoda, Kotohira Shrine, Suwa Shrine of Tekurata, and Tamashima Shrine. In January 1882, the company name was changed to Masuda Shrine. In June 1894, he joined Kashima Shrine in Shimoyoda. In September 1945, the company was designated as a Shinseki Textile Company. This shrine is historically a historical shrine and is widely believed as a deity by many local people. The shrine is flown and the worship hall is a main building. The festival day was originally April 15th, but it became the second Sunday in April with the change of the times.

It is a guardian dog who has endured the rain and wind.

Formerly, a shrine located in Masuda-juku (Natori Station, near the station) along Route 4 and Oshu Kaido. A small shrine located on the length of a tenement house. On the way from Natori Station to Natori Cultural Center, I stopped by because I was worried. It is a stone lantern that stands out from the road. Features a natural stone umbrella. There was an engraving on the back that was made in 1873 when it was made. It is like an old shrine.

A shrine that enshrines Sanpo Kojin as a deity. Why isn't the name of Sanpo Kojin Shrine?

This historic shrine has a history of almost 600 years in the center of Natori. It is said that the affair, which protected the peasant in ancient times, and was prayed by Mr. Date, integrated with several shrines in the Meiji period and became the form of today. It is also close to Natori station, and there is also a multi-sided plaza next door, so a lot of people come to the festival and it is crowded. Besides, it seems that young people who do cosplay often use it for photography.

Although it is not a big shrine, the precincts were very beautifully maintained and I was able to worship comfortably.

I visited on December 13, 2021. It is near Natori station. It is said that there was a warrior named Bungo Kikuchi in the family of Takemitsu Kikuchi, who was a loyal retainer of the Southern Court, around 1444-1448 during the year of Emperor Go-Hanazono's 102nd generation. Bungo Kikuchi, who was born in Yamato (now Nara), went down to Oshu and built the ground there. It is said that it started from the Kasayama shrine in Shikijo-gun, Yamato province, where he was born. It is said that his descendant, Saumasuke Kikuchi, relocated to his present location between 1504 and 1520 during the Eisho era, and became known as Kasayama Kojin. It changed to Kasayama Shrine due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji Restoration, and was renamed Masuda Shrine due to the merger of towns and villages in the Meiji era. It is a historical shrine that also visited Date Masamune, 2nd Tadamune, Ieyasu Tokugawa and Gamo Ujisato.
