松尾神社
1164 Miyanoe, Daimon,Nagato-cho
Daimon Pass leads to Kurumayama and Kirigamine. If you head from Saku Plain, there is a road that goes through Nagakubo-juku, a post town in Nagato-cho's Nagakubo area. Matsuo Shrine is located in this town. The shrine is known for its main hall built by Tatekawa Ryu's third-generation master, Tomishige.
The shrine grounds are accessed by crossing a bridge over the Isuzu River and entering a grove of zelkova trees, which are designated cultural properties of the town. The atmosphere is serene and cool, with the shrine buildings quietly nestled in the grove.
The main hall, a one-bay nagare-zukuri structure, was built by Suwa shrine carpenter Tatekawa Washiro Tomishige in 1860. The hall features beautiful carvings, including dragons, turtles, cranes, and elephants.
A mountain shrine dedicated to Ōyamakui-no-kami stands next to the main hall. This deity is highly revered by sake brewers.
