Chojasan Shinra Shrine

Shrine
This Shinto shrine is about ten minutes on foot from both the Nijusannichi-machi and the Jurokunichi-machi bus stops. Located on the summit of Mt. Choja, it was built in 1678 by Nanbu Naomasa, the second feudal lord of the Hachinohe Domain. The shrine structure visitors see today was constructed over a ten-year period starting in 1826. Its various Edo Period (1603-1868) characteristics have earned it the status of a prefectural treasure. From the first to the third of August, the shrine holds its annual Sansha-Taisai Festival, a nationally Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Other well-known events are the Hachinohe Enburi Festival on February 17 and its Kagami-style Kiba Dakyu Tournament on August 2, featuring a traditional equestrian sport.

  • 八戸市の主要神社のひとつ

    八戸市街にある長者山の山上にあるジンジャ・シュラインです。1678年に創建され、八戸三社大祭などの八戸の主要な祭礼の舞台になる場所です。訪問時、残念ながら境内には少し荒廃の兆しが見えたように感じましたが、良いアトモスフィアの場所でした。御朱印あります。
  • 一見こじんまりとした神社です。

    一見こじんまりとした神社ですが、八戸市三社祭や武芸の打毬(日本式ポロ?)を行う神社として地元では重要な神社のひとつのようです。私が行った日は人気がなく静かでしたが、社務所では白い犬が出迎えてくれます。
  • 八戸の一之宮

    八戸藩主が建てた由緒ある神社で、境内には古い建物も残っています。八戸の有名なお祭りの拠点でもあるそうです。
