    In 1191, Ooeno Chikahiro transferred the god of Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachimangu to a new Sagae-sou, and enshrined it in the land of Nagaoka.Since then, the shrine has made a history over 800 years as a guardian of Sagae-sou. The autumn festival sees yabusame and yakko town tour, which are performed with the hope of good harvest, and carrying a mikoshi (portable shrine).

    It is said that the shrine was opened by Gyoki after the gods were transferred from Kii Kumano Gongen in 721. It is an old and the biggest shrine with a temple estate of 149-seki and 9-to area size, and received a goshuin (letter bearing the shogun's scarlet seal) from Edo shogunate government. Inside the cedar forests, which are dark even in a daytime, there are two wooden Juo statues, which have been designated as a cultural asset of the prefecture, and the main temple that enshrines a Laksmi statue quietly sitting. The elegant performance of Hirashio Bugaku is performed at the shrine on April 3 every year. The performance is regarded as a very impor-tant culture in the fork study field as it has developed under the influence of Kyoto Bugaku, which has been disappeared a long time ago.(an intangible cultural asset designated by the prefecture)

    The impact of the westernization and modernization in the Meiji era could see in rural areas as well. In 1878, after the laws were established for the country (gun in Japanese), the west-ern style building was built as a Gun Office in the center of the town at the time. Local people might have experienced the arrival of a new history by looking at the white building and street lamps along the main street. Today, the office has been trans-ferred within the Sagae Park, and displays historical materials. (designated as a tangible cultural asset by the prefecture)

    ■Fork Museum(Nishi Murayama-gun Office/Gun Conference Hall)

Tomohiro passed away in 1494 (Muromachi era). After her husband died, the wife donated their land to Chokoji. The names of lands written on the donation letter along with the tower that says "Akada, Kinosawa, Takase..." tells the current generation about Sagae-sou in the medieval era.
