阿沼美神社

阿沼美神社, Shinto shrine in Japan

Anumi Jinja is a Shinto shrine in the Misake-machi district of Matsuyama. Its main hall, rebuilt in reinforced concrete in 1957 after the July 1945 air raid, stands in a compound with a worship hall whose name plaque was brushed by Hisamatsu Sadatake, former governor of Ehime. The shrine's crest, a corner-cut triple-character design, matches that of the Kōno clan.

The shrine is believed to have been founded in the 7th century, originally at a different site before being moved to its current location in Matsuyama. It was rebuilt in the 1950s after suffering damage during the war.

The shrine's name is written with characters also read "Ajimi", which one theory links to atsumi, hot water, fitting a shrine of Onsen district. Its autumn festival on 6–7 October sends out three portable shrines: a black four-sided one for Takao kami, a gold eight-sided one for Oyamazumi, and a gold gilded one for Raijin. The four- and eight-sided shrines are carried against each other in a clash called hatchiai.

The shrine is within walking distance of central Matsuyama and the grounds are generally open throughout the year. Going in the early morning gives a clearer sense of the daily rhythm of the place before visitors arrive.

The shrine's crest is the "sode-oshiki kaku-giri chijimi sanmonji", the same emblem used by the Kōno clan. The main hall burned in the July 1945 Matsuyama air raid; the present reinforced-concrete hall was completed in August 1957. The grounds hold several subsidiary shrines, including Kotohira, Misake-Tenman and Katsuyama-Hachiman.
