Virtual Old Akita 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #32 Matsumine Shrine

 

     Acalanatha was enshrined in Mount Matsumine in 817.  Denju-in Temple was later founded to take care of the Acalanatha statue and its hall.  On March 3rd, 859, an earthquake hit the area and the temple buildings were buried under the ground.  The temple and the hall were revived in 895.  Until the Asari Family rebuilt the building in 1402, no record was kept for 4 centuries.

     After the Meiji Restoration, Denju-in Temple became Matsumine Shrine.
