About this Shrine

長屋神社 is a small Shinto shrine located in the town of Katsuyama, Ishikawa Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to the deity Hachiman, who is revered as the patron god of education and war. While the exact date of its founding is unknown, the shrine is believed to have been established during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), a time when Buddhism was still in its early stages of development in Japan.

Cultural Significance

In addition to Hachiman, the shrine is also enshrined with a small wooden statue of Bishamonten, a Shinto deity believed to protect against evil spirits and misfortune. Visitors can participate in the shrine's annual festivals, which often feature traditional dances and offerings to the kami.
