---|---|
Kotohira Shrine (Nemuro City) is a Kotohira Shrine located in Japan[1]. It worships Konpira Gongen.
It is one of the easternmost shrines in Japan.[1] Kotohira Shrines are shinto shrines dedicated to Ōmononushi. Due to Shinbutsu-shūgō they often also worship Konpira Gongen
They are part of the famous Inahachikonten Shrines (稲八金天神社) of the Shrine Consolidation Policy alongside Inari Shrine, Hachiman Shrine, Kotohira Shrines , and Tenmangu Shrine.
History edit
The shrine's roots can be traced back to 1806 when Kahei Takadaya, a pioneer of northern sea fishing, paid homage to it while overseeing the fishing grounds. Initially located elsewhere, the shrine was moved to its present location in 1881.[1][2]
Attractions edit
Upon visiting the shrine, devotees and tourists alike are encouraged to explore the surrounding buildings and facilities. A notable feature within the shrine complex is the Festival Museum (Omatsuri Shiryokan). This museum houses various documents and displays, among which the luxurious portable shrine, or Omikoshi, stands out. Visitors can also find the Goshuin, a letter bearing the shogun’s scarlet seal.[1]
Festival edit
The annual festival goes from August 9 to August 11. It is a major festival of Hokkkaido[2]. It has a major mikoshi that requires 60 people to carry.[3]
