History / CultureShrines / Temples

    At the time of the construction of Morioka Castle (Keicho 2), the 26th generation of the Nambu clan, Nobunao, placed the fate of the domain at stake in the Sakakiyama Kuruwa within the castle grounds, and dedicated the Morioka Kaiun Shrine. The divine spirit is a god that was revered by the ancestor, Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu (Seiwa-Genji), and although it was closed down in the Meiji era due to the abolition of feudal domains and establishment of prefectures, it is a prayer shrine that was later rebuilt in Kitayama.

    There are 14 shrines within the precincts, as well as the scenic garden ``Ryokufuen'' and ``Shinji Pond,'' which date back to the Morioka domain era, making it a majestic sacred area that colors Morioka's four seasons.
