Myoken-jinja Shrine Cherry Blossoms
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.
