羽黒神社

羽黒神社, Shinto shrine in Japan

Haguro Shrine stands on Haguroyama, a small hill in the old town of Tamashima, Kurashiki, that was once an island in the Seto Inland Sea. Its main hall was rebuilt in 1845 and its worship hall in 1852. The shrine grounds were extended in the 1970s onto the roof of the Haguro Shrine Hall, built over a wartime air-raid shelter.

The shrine was founded in 1658, the same year a land reclamation project transformed coastal waters into usable land and the town grew rapidly. Its founding was a gesture of gratitude from the local feudal lord for the success of this ambitious project.

The shrine takes its name from Mount Haguro in Dewa Province, from which the deity was invited in 1658. Its deities are Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Okuninushi-no-Mikoto and Kotoshironushi-no-Mikoto, honoured for good fortune, matchmaking and prosperous trade. Seven Lucky Gods are enshrined around the main hall, and a Seven Lucky Gods festival is held on the first Sunday of April with the Kinen-sai.

The shrine stands on Haguro-yama, a hill in the middle of Tamashima's old town that was once a small island in the Seto Inland Sea. From JR Shin-Kurashiki Station it is about 2 km south; the Tamashima Chuo-machi bus stop is a 2-minute walk away. The shrine hall (kaikan) built in the 1970s has a roof used as an extension of the grounds.

The shrine's hill was once a small island in the Seto Inland Sea before land reclamation joined it to the shore. In 1970-1973 a hall, the Haguro Jinja Kaikan, was built over a World War II air-raid shelter, and its roof was turned into an extension of the shrine grounds.
