Tachikawa Kumano Shrine

In the past, this area was called Shibasaki Nitta, and it was developed during the Kyoho year, and in the early days, it was called Seven Houses, but it became a buraku name called Seven Houses. This shrine was founded by the Burakumin of Nitta on August 1, 1726 (1726 AD) at 3664 Takamatsu-cho 1, Tachikawa City (in the former Tachikawa base). In the autumn of Kansei 12, the number of clans and children increased to 23, and it was rebuilt by these people. In December of the 6th year of the Meiji era, it was listed as a village shrine, and in May of the 40th year of the Meiji era, it was designated as a shrine for the donation of money to the gods. Renovated on May 3, Meiji 41. On April 24, Showa 20, during the Greater East Asia War, all the buildings were reduced to ashes due to the air raids of the US military, and in May of Showa 21, the precincts were also requisitioned by the garrison troops. Therefore, it was unavoidable, we acquired the new precinct land, started construction directly, and completed it on April 15, Showa 23, so we held a relocation ceremony, and on September 14, Showa 31, a larger new shrine hall was completed, so we solicited a new shrine from Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine and dedicated it. On November 1, 1943, all buildings were relocated due to the construction of a new city road. In August of Showa 51, as a project to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the shrine, the precincts were improved, and a new komainu and tamagaki were newly installed, which continues to the present.
