Hanamaki Culture Village

Toriyazaki Shrine

Rebuilt in 1313, Toriyazaki Castle had three castle guardian shrines, but in 1536, the castle lord at the time (an ancestor of the Hidenuki clan) merged them and created Toriyazakiza Sanhashira Shrine. It was renamed. During the Keicho period (around 1600), Kitamatsusai, the lord of Hanamaki Castle, prayed to the main shrine at the start of the war and won the war, so he built a new shrine and held a grand festival during the annual festival, inviting the people of the county to take a break from work to worship. .

Korinji Temple

A Jishu temple founded in 1280. It is said that it was founded by Michitsugu, the eldest son of Michishige Kono, the lord of Terabayashi Castle, who later became a devotee of Ippen Shonin, the founder of Jishu Buddhism, and with his cooperation established the Nenbutsu dojo. Many important documents are stored in the treasury. In the beautiful garden, a huge oak tree stands out.
