Ryuoka Shrine

The history of Ryuoka

Long ago, Ryuoka was divided into Northern Ryu and Southern Ryu. In Hokuryu, there was Neno Shrine, which enshrined Okuninushi no Mikoto, Daikoku-sama, who was worshiped as the god of the house and the god of rice fields. A hanging scroll of Daikokuten from 1923 remains. Nanryu used to have Kumano Shrine, but it was rebuilt in 1995 and combined with Kono Shrine to become Tatsuoka Shrine. The original main shrine building was built in 1842 (Tenpo 13), and the worship hall was built in 1796 (Kansei 8). The hand washing stone from 1829 remains.

Originally Kumano Shrine, it was enshrined with Neno Shrine and became Ryuoka Shrine.
Every August, the Shishi Kagura of Ryuoka Shrine is dedicated at the annual festival of Awa Shrine.

Shishi Kagura is a tradition passed down in Ryuoka Ward, and was previously performed at both Kumano Shrine in Minamiryu and Kono Shrine in Hokuryu. After being enshrined together, it has been dedicated at annual festivals at the current Ryuoka Shrine.
