土津神社｜ご神体が鎮座する御社殿を修繕し、「東北の日光」を再び。

>>How to Support by Credit Card

 

The Hanitsu Shrine, located at the foot of Mount Bandai in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture, was established in 1675 and has since enshrined the successive lords of the Aizu domain. The main deity, Masayuki Hoshina, the founder of the Aizu domain, was a key figure in laying the foundations of the Edo shogunate, earning him the affectionate title of the "God of Children and Success." Originally, the shrine’s grandeur earned it the nickname "Nikko of the Tohoku region," but it was burned down during the Boshin War and rebuilt in the Meiji era.

 

 

In 2025 (Reiwa 7), Hanitsu Shrine will celebrate its 350th anniversary. Meanwhile, the main shrine building, which was reconstructed around 150 years ago, has been deteriorating. In the winter of 2023, strong snowstorms caused copper roofing sheets to peel off, exposing the underlying wood. If left unaddressed, this could potentially affect the sacred objects within.

 

Urgent repairs are necessary; however, as the current shrine was rebuilt in the Meiji era, it is not eligible for public funding assistance. The shrine has already received substantial support from its parishioners, but to gather wider support from across the country, we have decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign.

 

This project is envisioned as the first step toward restoring the shrine to its original splendor, reviving the "Nikko of Tohoku." Through this restoration, we aim to preserve the shrine's history and culture for future generations and contribute to the development of the local community. We deeply appreciate your warm support and generosity.
