Nagahama Hachimangu Shrine

4.0

"This shrine honoring Nagahama's patron deity has been there since the Heian Period. The deity was installed there in 1069 from Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine, and it's been the region's protective spirit ever since. The shrine declined temporarily during the Warring States Period, but the lord of Nagahama Castle, Hashiba Hideyoshi, favored the shrine and it regained its status. The Nagahama Hikiyama Festival is its main celebration is especially famous. Held yearly from April 13 to 16, area children perform extravagant ""Kids Kabuki"" shows on top of flamboyant festival floats. "

なかなか広い境内に複数の社があります。こちらも廃れた神社を秀吉が復興したものと伝えられています。本殿は拝殿から延びる塀に遮られて全貌が見えませんが、なかなか荘厳な趣のある建築です。「日本三大山車祭」に数えられる長浜曳山祭の中心的な存在であり、「近江長浜六瓢箪」をリードしてきた神社でもあります。

お正月に行ったため初詣でのお客さんでいっぱいでした。参拝するのにも行列です。屋台がでていたりくじ引きがあったりと地元のお客さんでにぎわっていてほのぼのしました。
