高田熊野神社, Shinto shrine in Japan
Takada Kumano Shrine in Chigasaki enshrines Kumano Okami and Kushi-mikeno-no-mikoto, with Tenjin Shichiza and Chijin Goza also worshipped. Its current main hall was rebuilt in 1927. Within the grounds stands Hie Shrine, moved here after originally being on a hill called Sannoyama.
In 1658 Ōoka Mino-no-kami Tadataka, the local landowner of Takada village and father of the Edo official Ōoka Tadasuke, divided the Kumano deity from Kumano Hongū Taisha in Kii Province and founded this shrine. The present hall was rebuilt in 1927. Its subordinate Hie Shrine was invited from Hiyoshi Taisha in Ōmi Province in 1720 and later moved into the grounds.
The shrine takes its name from the Kumano deity brought here in 1658 from Kumano Hongu Taisha in Kii Province. Its subsidiary Hie Shrine, moved into the grounds, was transferred in 1720 from Hiyoshi Taisha in Sakamoto, Omi Province. Annual rites include the New Year service on 1 January, the Hamaori festival on 14 July and the regular festival on the second Sunday of September.
Take a bus bound for Bunkyo University from the north exit of Chigasaki Station and get off at Takada; the shrine is a three-minute walk from the stop. The grounds are small, so a visit fits easily around the festivals held there on 1 January, 14 July and the second Sunday of September.
The shrine's auxiliary Hie Shrine was moved here from a hill called Sannoyama. It was invited in 1720 by the Ooka family from Hiyoshi Taisha in Sakamoto, Omi Province, and enshrines Oyamakui-no-Mikoto. Visitors can look for this small subsidiary shrine within the grounds.
