波閇科神社

Habe-shina Shrine, designated as a tangible cultural property of Chikuma City, is located in a steep residential area overlooking the Zenkoji Daihongan Temple annex, surrounded by cedar groves. It is a very quiet and sunny place, far from the center of the hot spring town, and accessible by narrow roads.

The shrine is said to have originated when Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, enshrined as the deity, invoked Amaterasu Omikami when crossing Habe-shina Pass. The name "Habe-shina" refers to the winding "Forty-eight Bends Pass" nearby.

Additionally, there are seven other shrines within the grounds, including Tenjin Shrine, Inari Shrine, Kanaha Hira Shrine, Sumiyoshi Shrine, Silkworm Shrine, and Usa Hachiman Shrine, all surrounded by trees.
