Chikuma Shrine - Matsumoto City

Located in Matsumoto City, Chikuma Shrine stands near the city's center and the Usukawa River.
It's a well-known shrine in Matsumoto and features a stone Ryobu torii at the entrance.
The shrine sign reads "Hachiman Shrine" and is also known as "Kokufu Hachiman Shrine" due to its historical association with the Kokufu (provincial capital).

The shrine grounds include a gate and fence-enclosed main hall.
The worship hall, designated a prefectural treasure, features a hip-and-gable roof, an elegant, graceful design, and a single-span frontage with a cypress bark roof.

Traces of red and black lacquer remain on various parts, with evidence of polychrome decorations on bracket complexes and carvings.
Initially, the main structural elements were painted red or black, with polychrome patterns on brackets and carvings.
This hall is the only surviving example of pure Momoyama-style architecture in Nagano Prefecture, likely constructed by craftsmen from the Kinki region.

The main hall is a relatively large structure with a cypress bark roof, rebuilt in the Muromachi period (Eikyo 11, 1439) by the Ogasawara clan.
Like the worship hall, it is richly decorated with colors and retains features from its original construction, earning its designation as an important cultural property.
