Akita Muromachi Period
1336 – 1573
Tucked into the forests of southern Akita, the Kagura Hall of Haushiwake Shrine is a rare Muromachi-period shrine built in the unusual ryōnagare-zukuri style and designated an Important Cultural Property in 1980. It still serves as the stage for the nationally designated Horowa-san Shimotsuki Kagura, a living ritual tradition rooted in medieval mountain worship.
