Tajijinja Shrine

Taji Shrine stands in the centre of Hiyoshi in Nantan and is said to have been founded in the Keiun era. The present main hall, built in 1755, is a two-bay nagare-zukuri structure and among the largest of its kind in the Tanba region. Two folk performing arts have been handed down here — the Onda rite, designated a national intangible folk cultural property, and the Kakkosuri, designated by the prefecture — and the festival that carries them is held on a grand scale each year.
