Tokamachi City

The oldest building of its kind in the prefecture.
This thatched-roof wooden shrine building is the oldest of its kind in the prefecture. The local deity named "Matsuo-daigongen" attracted the attention of worshippers as the god of hemp fabrics. Many warlords during the Warring states period worshipped this deity, including Uesugi Kenshin who offered a dagger and a military fan at this shrine.
