History

Nangū Taisha is located in the southwestern corner of Gifu Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Nangū. The name "Nangū" derives from its location to the south of the ancient Mino Provincial Capital. Nangū Taisha claims to have been first built during the reign of the legendary Emperor Sujin (97 BC – 30 BC), although there are no historical records prior to its mention in the 836 Shoku Nihon Kōki and in the 859 Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku. The mid-Heian period Engishiki confirmed its status as a Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. The shrine was destroyed by a fire in 1501, which destroyed all its records. It was rebuilt by Toki Masafusa, the shugo of Mino Province in 1511.[2]

During the nearby Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, the shrine was again completely burnt to the ground and was not rebuilt until 1642, when Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu sponsored the construction efforts.[3] The shrine retains a document which details the cost of the reconstruction. In 1867, as a result of shinbutsu bunri, the Buddhist temple located on the shrine grounds was moved to a different location and named Shinzen-in (真禅院). In 1871, the shrine was designated as a Script error: No such module "Nihongo". under the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines of State Shinto. It was promoted to a Script error: No such module "Nihongo". in 1925, and its name was changed from "Jinja" to "Taisha" to reflect its more important status.[2]

The shrine is located approximately one kilometer southwest of Tarui Station on the JR Tokai Tōkaidō Main Line.[4]

Nangū Otabi Shrine

Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is the Soja Shrine of Mino Province. It enshrines all fhe deities of the province

Whenever a new kokushi was appointed by the central government to govern a province, it was necessary for him to visit all of the sanctuaries of his province in order to complete the rites necessary for ceremonial inauguration. Grouping the kami into one location near the capital of the province greatly facilitated this duty,[5]
