The present main shrine was rebuilt in 1609 by Katagiri Katsumoto on the order of Toyotomi Hideyori. The area is called Tamimiwa-eup, which was the territory of the Ki clan from Lord Koyumishukune to Lord Funamori, and is also the site of the tomb of the deity. The annual festival is held on October 15th, and the portable shrines are transported to the travel office on Kurosaki beach. Young people and children gather at the Funamori Shrine, pulling a cart through the town.

Description

Funamori Shrine is said to have been built in the year 911 (Engi 11 in the imperial calendar) at the order of Daigo, Japan’s 60th emperor, but the details beyond that are unknown. The building where the deity is said to be enshrined is called the Honden (main building), and it is said to have been rebuilt in its current form in 1609 (Keicho 14) by Katagiri Katsumoto at the order of the general Toyotomi Hideyori, and was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1924 (Taisho 13). The shrine was built using an architectural style called Sangensha Nagare-zukuri, the most common at the time, with a roof thatched with Japanese cypress bark, allowing it to retain the characteristics of the Momoyama Period (late 16th century). This shrine is dedicated to several deities, including Inishiki Irihiko no Mikoto (who is said to have been buried in the Udonohaka Kofun tumulus), Ki no Oyumi no Sukune (who is said to have been buried in the Sairyo Kofun tumulus), and Ki no Funamori. Ki no Funamori was a government official during the Nara Period (710-794). It is said that he rose to a high position in the wake of the war against Fujiwara no Nakamaro. Every October, an autumn festival is held as a traditional event of the village. During the festival, young people and children wear traditional Japanese coats called happi and energetically pull yagura (decorative portable shrines) through the village, gathering at Funamori Shrine.
