Kayumi Shrine

Kayumi Shrine is located at the junction where National Routes 166 and 368 intersect. Before 1909, this shrine was located in the shrine in the Shimomura (Shimogo) district and was commonly known as Hachioji-san. The Shinto ritual ``Tenten'' handed down at Kayumi Shrine, which has a tradition of about 700 years, began with a dance that symbolized the descent of the descendants of the gods. It is said that in the past, Mukaigaumi in Taki District belonged to Gogaya Village. The Hongo area was commonly referred to as ``Muni Muite.'' Shimomura and Hongo have teamed up to share the tengu mask, the male lion is Shimomura's, and the female lion's mask with a missing nose from Hongo is Shimomura's property, but they borrow each other for the shrine festival and dance the lion kagura to ensure the safety of the family and good health. It is said that they prayed for a rich harvest. The remnants of that earnest desire are still being passed down through generations. Incidentally, ``Tenten'' is said to have begun approximately 690 years ago (around 1310), but the exact date is unknown.
