Hino Yasaka Shrine
日野八坂神社The date of its founding is unknown, but once upon a time there was an abyss called Tobuchi along the flow of the Tama River in Hino Hongo, so this area was called Tobuchi no Sho, but one day, after the Tama River flood, something suspicious was seen in the abyss for several nights. When the old man of the village picked it up, it was a golden statue of the god of the Ox Head Tenno, so the people of the village were delighted and solicited it, built a shrine, and enshrined it as a shrine, which is said to be the origin of this Yasaka Shrine, and it is said that it is a god of spiritual experience for abundant harvests, protection from plagues, and prosperity of descendants.
The main shrine was completed in the twelfth year of Kansei (1800), and is a typical shrine (main shrine) building of the late Edo period, with a style one-room shrine structure, a flowing roof, a staggered gable on the front, and a set of carved rafters carved in white wood. In this main shrine, there is a plaque dedicated by the disciples of Kondo Shusuke of Natural Rishin-ryu in the fifth year of Ansei (1858), and two wooden swords, one large and one small, are hung on a wooden board.
The annual grand festival is held on a grand scale in September every year, and in particular, the passing of the shrine shrine called "Senkan Mikoshi" is a famous Shinto ceremony in Tokyo and nearby prefectures, and gorgeous festival picture scrolls are unfolded.
