和田神社
2854 Wada, Nagawa Town, Chiisagata District
Wada Shrine was originally built as the Ōmiya Shrine that was enshrined in this area.
In 1832, it was renamed and enshrined as Wada Shrine.
The shrine grounds are surrounded by a grove of large cedar trees, with a wooden torii gate at the entrance. The sloping approach path is overgrown with vegetation.
At the end of the approach path stands a large irimoya-zukuri style norito-den (prayer hall).
The worship hall and main hall are located slightly higher behind the norito-den, accessible by stone steps.
While the norito-den is built in a hirairi style, the worship hall is in a tsumairi style with the same irimoya-zukuri structure.
The main hall is a one-bay nagare-zukuri style building enclosed by a roofed structure.
It is said to be a work of the Tachikawa school, with chrysanthemum crests on the doors and carvings of ascending and descending dragons on the side panels.
