Omiya atsuta jinja wakamiya hachimangu

A sessha (auxiliary shrine) of Omiya Atsuta Shrine, located about 1 kilometer away in a wooded area.
There is no torii gate, and the dense foliage makes the shrine grounds quite dark.
In the early Kamakura period, the Nishimaki clan, who ruled the Azusagawa area, relocated their residence and enshrined their guardian deity from Kozuke Province.
The shrine building consists of a single structure housing the main hall.
The main hall is believed to have been built between 1469 and 1486.

The main hall is constructed in the ichimon-sha nagare-zukuri style with a mise-dana design.
The hama-en (eaves) extend up to the base of the pillars, and both the columns of the forward and main sections are square pillars.
Although it lacks elaborate carvings, elements like the kabu-kegyo and ebi-nijiryo reflect the ancient forms of the Muromachi period.
