Hayachine Shrine

Tono City

Southern Iwate

    Hayachine Shrine, where the divine spirits of the Tono Sanzan are enshrined, is said to have its origins on June 18, 806, when Fugenbo Ichinomiya was built on the summit of the mountain to enshrine the divine spirits. Currently, the vast precincts are thickly covered with old giant cedar and cypress trees, giving the place an atmosphere of forestry. An annual festival is held on the 18th of July, and the festival is famous for the mikoshi washing process, in which the mikoshi is carried to the nearby Takigawa River and washed while being sprinkled with river water.
