金野諏訪社
566 Ieno-ue, Yasuoka Village, Shimoina District
Suwa Shrine located in the Ieno-ue district of former Kaneno Village in Yasuoka Village is revered as the tutelary deity of the area.
The district is situated on a steep slope, surrounded by fields. From around 1770 to the Meiji period, puppet joruri was always performed during festivals, making the shrine a cornerstone for the community.
A stone staircase extends from the road, with a large cherry tree on its side. The shrine grounds spread out beyond a stone torii gate.
The two shrines within the enclosure are the Suwa Shrine main hall on the left, built in the one-bay nagare-zukuri style, and the Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine on the right, built in the two-bay nagare-zukuri style.
The Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine is divided into two sections, with the left side dedicated to Wakamiya Shrine and the right side to Wakamiya Sakura Shrine.
Both shrines have wooden shingle roofs, with a plaque from 1573 remaining in Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine.
Due to the similarities in their construction methods, both the Suwa Shrine main hall and Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine main hall are considered to be from the same period.
Both shrines have simple designs, with all pillars being independent and without the use of head beams or extra brackets, and minimal decoration.
Their unique feature is the lack of a veranda, with shelf boards and beach boards instead, reflecting the local shrine architecture style.
The enclosure is believed to have been established at the same time as the main hall, and the designation of important cultural property includes the enclosure.
