Ichinomiya Shrine is a shrine that enshrines the three local shrines Oji Shrine, Otoshi Shrine, and Suwa Shrine.

On August 8, 1940, Suwa Shrine was moved to its current location on August 2, 1941, and Otoshi Shrine was moved to its current location to the north.

On June 28, 1950, the three shrines were enshrined together and the name was changed to Ichinomiya Shrine.

The "Eight Great Dragon Kings," who control water, are said to have been connected to Yanagawa and are also enshrined at Ichinomiya Shrine.

The goshuin are colorful and very popular.
There are two mascot cats, so if you're lucky, you may meet them.
