Overview
Masumida Shrine is the ichinomiya of former Owari Province, located in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture — the city whose very name ("First Shrine City") derives from this shrine's status. The principal deity is Amenohoakari-no-mikoto, a solar deity and ancestral god of the ancient Owari clan. Listed as a Myōjin Taisha in the Engishiki (927 CE), it has been Owari Province's paramount shrine for over a millennium. The shrine buildings were destroyed in air raids during World War II and subsequently rebuilt. The current hon-den and related structures are registered as nationally registered tangible cultural properties, while the shrine also holds Important Cultural Properties including 12th-century wooden kagura masks. The shrine tradition traces its founding to the reign of Emperor Jimmu, though these accounts appear in medieval sources. Today Masumida Shrine is a lively center of local life. The Momo-no-Sekku (Peach Festival) on April 3 is the main annual festival. The summer Tanabata Festival draws large crowds dressed in yukata, and the shrine continues to embody the cultural identity of the city that bears its name.
