About this place
A shrine in Takashima, Shiga. It is said to have begun when the deity was invited to the present Kaizu Kamio-yama at the end of the Heian period, and it flourished under the protection of the Tokugawa shogun family and the Maeda lords of Kaga. Under old pines and cedars, ten shrine buildings large and small stand around the Tenjinsha. The deities are Sugawara no Michizane in the main hall, Onamuchi no Mikoto at Okuwa Shrine, and Amenooshitarashi-hiko no Mikoto at Ono Shrine. The Kaizu Rikishi Festival is held every year on April 29.
