Kohoku Inari-jinja Shrine| Kogita Inari Jinja Shrine

Located on the east bank of the Takada River to the south of the hamlet of Naka, the deity enshrined is Uka no Mitama no Mikoto. According to the shrine records, the shrine was built at the time of Emperor Jōmei (the end of 6th century). By the Muromachi Period (1336 -1573), the Hashio, who controlled this area, worshipped here. Under their protection, the shrine hall was built and, in Eiroku 6 (1721), a donation was received from the Lord of Kōriyama fief in the form of rice fields for growing rice for the shrine. Having deeply held spiritual beliefs, it is recorded that in Kyōhō 21 (1736) Chief Retainer Yanagisawa Satomoto donated rice fields yielding 1 koku 2 to (just over 180kg)
