About Shingu Shrine
Shingu Shrine is Shinto god of Matsugasaki. Originally, it was named as “Daihieidaimyojin” in 1306 (Tokuji 1) when whole the village converted to Nichiren sect, it enshrined both Lotus Sutra and “Mandara” that was written Nichizo saint in person and after that a monk in Myosenji temple worshipped it as chinjusha of Myosenji temple. Due to abolition of Buddhism and destroying of Shakamuni and separation of God and Buddha in Meiji revolution, it renamed its name as “Shirohige shrine” departing from Myosenji temple, and in 1887 (Meiji 20) it renamed as “Shingu Shrine” and it has been called so up to now.
Annual festival and fire-burning festival is conducted on October 23 and December 8 respectively.
Shingu Shrine is a small shrine that is at the end point of the former Matsugasaki Street. There is a small Noh stage in its precincts. As it’s on a little higher place, we can view the cities from Kitayama.
