Ichinomiya Nukisaki Shrine, Shinto shrine in Tomioka, Japan
The stone steps of Nukisaki Shrine lead downward through a forested hillside toward the main shrine buildings and ceremonial spaces.
The shrine, established in 534 during Emperor Ankan's reign, received recognition in 927 as a myojin taisha in the Engishiki records.
Nukisaki Shrine honors Futsunushi-no-kami, deity of war, and Hime-Ōkami, deity of sericulture, through traditional Shinto ceremonies and festivals.
Visitors can reach the shrine by taking a 15-minute walk from Jōshū-Ichinomiya Station on the Jōshin Dentetsu Jōshin Line.
Nukisaki Shrine stands among three shrines in Japan where worshippers enter from above and descend to reach the main shrine area.
