    Gifu Gujo-shi Yamatocho Maki
    This Shinto shrine is said to have been founded in the early 13th century. Its beginnings are said to be associated with Tou Taneyuki of the Tou clan who participated meritoriously in the Jokyu War and received this territory, transferring the spirit of Myoken Bosatsu, the patron deity of the Chiba clan. Gifu Prefecture has designated the shrine's Nanoka Festival held every year on August 7th as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. About 100 cherry trees of various sizes are planted along the roughly 250-meter approach to the shrine. The tunnel of cherry blossoms that forms when the trees are in full bloom from early to mid-April has been selected as one of the Top 33 Spots to View Cherry Blossom in the Hida-Mino region.

    Gifu Minokamo-shi Nakatomicho 2-9
    This shrine is located ten minutes from the Minokamo Interchange. The exact construction is unknown, but it is reported that the shrine was renamed Mototsushima Shrine, Hachioji Shrine and Nakatomi Shrine during the Meiji period (1868-1912). The festival held on the second Saturday and Sunday of April every year is famous. Small shrines are brought out under the vividly blooming Yoshino cherry and double-flowered cherry. A man wearing a fly-like demon mask appears and performs an exorcism which involves lightly tapping the head of the worshiper with a bamboo stick called a Sasara. This is said to make children smarter.

  • Nagataki Hakusan Shrine
    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Pref. Gujoushi Shirotorichounagataki 91
    Nagataki Hakusan Shrine, located in the city of Gujo, is a shrine of the Hakusan group that worships Mt. Hakusan as the water god. Once part of the Hakusan Chugu Choryuji Temple, founded by the monk Taicho in the eighth century, it split off from the temple in the 1870s, when the Japanese government forced Buddhism and Shinto to start functioning as separate religions. There are stone lanterns said to be products of the Kamakura period (1185-1334) on the shrine grounds, and the treasure house contains many cultural artifacts, such as Showa no tsubo, Teboko (hand spear), and No drama masks. Among them are items that have been designated National Important Cultural Properties. Every year on January 6, the shrine celebrates a festival that has been designated a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, Nagataki no Ennen. In the midst of dancing, visitors try to grab flowers, such as cherry blossoms and peonies, that are hung from the ceiling of the main building. This custom gives the festival its other name, the flower grabbing festival.
