Shinjuku Gyoen All to Yourself: Limited-Time Private Tours in Tokyo

Itehiki Shrine

Japan, 1539 Kamiyamada, Kama City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 821-0012

The shrine was deeply revered by the local people, and even the feudal lord's faith in it was exceptional. Until the Tensho era, the feudal lord Akizuki Okuratayu Tanezane had his castle on Shiroyama behind the shrine, and it is said that he had such great reverence for the main shrine that he donated 10 cho of land to the shrine and constructed a shrine building. After Kuroda Nagamasa came to Chikuzen, the shrine was deeply revered by successive feudal lords, and since the Kansei era, it has been a place of prayer for Kuroda Omori. In addition, the Yasaka Kagura Troupe was newly formed at the urging of the priests of Itebiki Shrine. Almost all of the dance, music, costumes, masks, and props are original. It is a one-of-a-kind Kagura dance. The word "Iyasaka" means "prospering more and more," and we hope that this Kagura dance will take root in the local community and be passed down through the generations.
