味酒部神社
7453 Sakai, Chikuhoku Village, Higashichikuma District
Located in a village along the road leading to Shunara Pass, following the upstream path of the Omi River flowing nearby.
Surrounded by a cedar grove, the shrine grounds open up as you climb the slope, with a ryobu torii featuring an upward-curved kasagi at the entrance.
Immediately to the left of the torii, there is a kagura hall with a hipped roof, and in front, on a slightly elevated level, stands the worship hall with an irimoya roof.
The placement of the kagura hall on the left side upon entering the shrine grounds is similar to that of Omi Shinmeigu nearby, while in the same village at Kariya Sawa Shinmeigu, a similar kagura hall is located on the right side.
The main hall is housed within an enclosure combined with the worship hall, featuring a nagare-zukuri style.
It is not particularly large, representing a common architectural style for main halls in this region.
