Cultural Assets－Temples and Shrines

Hibashiri-jinja Shrine is the head shrine of Hinenosho Iriyamada-mura Village and was catalogued in an ancient shrine register. The shrine is dedicated to Kagutsuchi no Mikoto, a god of fire, and legend holds that its name derives from an ancient ritual in which priests would run through flames. Of three buildings at the site constructed in the ikkensha kasuga-zukuri style, the main hall has been designated a Cultural Property by Izumisano City. Additionally, Sessha-miyuki-jinja Shrine, which has been designated an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese government, is considered to have been built during the Muromachi Period (1338 to 1573) based on its style and the techniques used in its construction.
