About this Shrine

Located in the town of Ichinoseki, Yamagata Prefecture,椚塚羽黒神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Hachiman Okami, the god of war and fertility. The shrine's name reflects its unique location, as 'tsuka' refers to the nearby rice fields and 'hakuro' signifies the black fox spirit associated with Hachiman. While not well-documented in Western sources, it is believed that this shrine was established during the Edo period due to its strategic location along a major trade route.
