About this Shrine

Located in the city of Hamamatsu, Shuzenji in Shizuoka Prefecture is home to the famous Hikone no Mirekiya Hie Shrine dedicated to Hachiman Tenjin, the Shinto patron deity of war and education. However, I was unable to find any information about the specific shrine you requested, the Hie Matsudaira Shinmei Shrine located in Matsumoto, but the Hie Matsudaira that is connected to the Hie Shrine in Tokyo. The Hie Shrine's parent shrine is also located in Shizuoka and it was originally built for Hikone no Mirekiya. It is located on the coast of Izu Peninsula with a unique architectural style known as Hatsu-ryu and has several notable festivals, including the Matsuri and Soga no Uta Awa Odori festival.

Cultural Significance

The Hie Shrine is famous for its unique architecture known as Hatsu-ryu, a style that originated in the Izu Peninsula. It features a distinctive tiled roof and a large vermillion torii gate. The shrine also hosts several festivals throughout the year, including the Matsuri festival in May and the Soga no Uta Awa Odori festival in August.
