Ishiura Shrine

Ishiura Shrine, Shinto shrine in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

Ishiura Shrine is a single-story wooden shrine in Hondamachi, Kanazawa, with a hipped-and-gabled dark-gray tiled roof whose ridge carries small round metal ornaments. Pale wooden pillars divide the facade into bays beneath deep eaves; a thick sacred rope with white paper streamers hangs above the entry, and a wooden plaque sits at the center. Stone steps lead up to the raised floor, and a light-gray stone torii with a rope across its lower beam stands at the street entrance.

Tradition links the shrine to a Nara-period foundation by Miwa worshippers from Echizen, and it is identified with the Engishiki-listed Miwa Shrine, said to be Kanazawa's oldest. In 1580 Sakuma Morimasa's attack on the Kaga Ikkō-ikki stronghold burned it down. Maeda Toshinaga granted land in Hondamachi in 1601, and the shrine was rebuilt on the site of the former Ishiura fort. It was renamed Ishiura Shrine in 1868 and moved to its present location in 1880.

The shrine was renamed Ishiura Shrine in 1868, taking the name of the former Ishiura village, after the Meiji government separated Shinto and Buddhism. It had been known as Ishiura Sanno or Jichigonken, and its Buddhist temple was called Jikoin. The annual festival is held on October 2 at 10:00, and the shrine hosts more than fifty rites a year.

The shrine is a short walk from the Hirozaka/21st Century Museum bus stop, served by Hokutetsu buses and the Kanazawa Furatto Bus Kikugawa route. The 101 torii path runs about 50 metres along the north side of the grounds and is lit at night. The approach from the street passes the stone torii and the 1921 stone pillar.

In 2019 the shrine built a path of 101 torii gates on its north side, completed over six months to mark the Reiwa era and Emperor Naruhito's accession. The roughly 50-metre walkway is lit at night and has become a subject of posts on social media.
