Sannō Shrine

The wooden structure of Sanno Shrine exhibits the nagare-zukuri architectural style, with its asymmetrical roof extending over the front of the building.

Taira no Kiyomori established the Sanno Shrine during the Heian period, marking the expansion of religious structures in the Hatsukaichi region.

The shrine maintains traditional Shinto ceremonies throughout the year, connecting local residents with centuries-old religious practices and rituals.

Visitors can reach the shrine by taking a local bus from Hatsukaichi Station to the northern district, followed by a 10-minute walk uphill.

The shrine's position on elevated ground provides a perspective of the surrounding mountains, while its wooden beams showcase traditional carpentry methods.
