Hijiri Shrine

The Hijiri Shrine extends across the entire Shinodayama Kyuryo Hill area, encompassed by the ancient Shinoda-no-Mori forest mentioned in Japanese poetry collections.

The main shrine building underwent reconstruction under the direction of Toyotomi Hideyori, incorporating several subordinate structures that received national cultural property status.

The shrine maintains multiple subordinate buildings, including Massha Taki and Massha San, which represent significant examples of traditional Japanese religious architecture.

Visitors can access the shrine grounds through marked pathways that lead to both the main worship hall and the inner sanctuary where traditional ceremonies occur.

The surrounding Shinoda-no-Mori forest contains trees referenced in ancient Japanese poetry, connecting natural heritage with religious significance.
