Description
Kaiseizan Daijingu (開成山大神宮) is a Shinto shrine in Kaisei, Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, founded in 1876 as one of the few Ise Jingu branches in the Tohoku region, popularly known as the Ise of the northeast. The principal kami is Amaterasu-Omikami, with Toyouke-no-Okami and Kamuyamato-Iwarebiko-no-Mikoto (Emperor Jimmu) as auxiliary kami. The shrine was established as the spiritual centre of the Asaka irrigation pioneer project of the early Meiji period, with the founding led by Nakajo Masatsune. It was ranked as a prefectural shrine in 1885, and the main hall in shinmei-zukuri style, together with the surrounding precincts, forms a coherent example of early-modern shrine architecture and planning. The annual festival of 15 September brings mikoshi processions through Koriyama, an autumn institution of the central Fukushima city.
