History

The origins of Awaga Jinja are unknown. According to the shrine's legend, it was founded during the reign of the legendary Emperor Suinin. A local noble, Ohiko Hayami offered to the Imperial Court to build a shrine to worship the Amenomisari, as this kami was an arashin (rough deity) which needed placating. His great-grandson took the surname "Kambe" and was the kuni no miyatsuko of Tajima. The shrine first appears in the historical documents in tax records for Tajima Province dated 737. It appears thereafter in the various historical chronicles in the Heian period, including the Engishiki and the Wamyō Ruijushō. The Engishiki lists it as a Шаблон:Nihongo. During the Sengoku period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi occupied the area in 1580, he confiscated the territory of the shrine, which fell into decline. Under then Edo Period Tokugawa shogunate, the area became Izushi Domain, ruled by the Koide clan followed by the Sengoku clan.[2]

During the Meiji period era of State Shinto, the shrine was rated as a village shrine in 1872 and promoted to a prefectural shrine in 1879 under the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines.[3][4]

The Honden was built in 1880 in the Nagare-zukuri style and is a three by two bay building. The Haiden is a four by three bay building. There is a small hill behind the main shrine which has what appears to be the remnants of a moat. The shrine refers to this as the "tomb of the god", but it is not certain if this is an ancient kofun or not, as it has never been excavation. However, from 1999 to 2004, an archaeological excavation was conducted in the vicinity of the precincts due to the construction of the Kitakinki Toyooka Expressway, and the foundations of structures and a medieval stone paved approach have been found, indicating that the shrine was once much larger than it is at present.

The shrine is located about 30-minutes on foot from Yanase Station on the JR West Sanin Main Line.
