Shimojin Tomorrow Ancestral Shrine
下神明天祖神社In the shogunate's official topographical journal "Shin-hen Musashi Fudo Manuscript" compiled in the middle of the Edo period, it is stated that the chronological calendar of the solicitation of the upper and lower Shinmeisha shrines is unknown, and it is thought that the kaya, which is a sacred tree, is over 600 years old and the shrine existed in the Muromachi period. Since the inscription of Shimohikubo, which is the source of Shimojinmei, can be seen for the first time in the "Shoho Annual Revised Map" in the same Fudo Chronicle, it is assumed that the upper and lower villages were divided in 1643, the year before the first year of Shoho, and the 340th anniversary festival was held simultaneously in Showa 58, and the Shikinen Grand Festival has been held every ten years since then. The reason why our company welcomed the current shrine and enshrined it as a Shinmeisha shrine is based on the belief in the Sansha oracle that enshrines the three gods of Ise, Hachiman, and Kasuga, which was circulating at the time of the separation. Today, it has the largest sacred tree in the ward, the largest koinu, and the longest approach, and is also focusing on passing on traditional culture, such as actively practicing gagaku around the shrine.

Historical Postscript
Heisei 31 New Year Although it is in the process of verification, it is considered an important matter and will be added
Last year, the Volunteer History Study Group published the progress of the verification of the rise of the village and the company. According to this, in the fifteenth century, a clan headed by the descendants of Fujiwara Hidesato was sent from Hitachi Province to cultivate this land. Various things were discovered, such as the fact that a shrine was built on the east hill of the village to enshrine the ancestor god Tenji Roof remains in the descendant's house. Therefore, it is thought that the company was originally Kasugasha, and in the early Edo period, it became Shinmeisha with Amaterasu and Emperor Okami. Even now, under the leadership of the Shinagawa History Museum, a survey of ancient documents handed down to the old family of Ujikouchi is underway.
