Matsunoki Jinja Shrine
Shrines and Temples
This shrine is dedicated to Matsunoki Shozaemon (1625–1652), a village leader who sacrificed his life for the farmers suffering from heavy taxation. He advocated for the revision of tax rates, breaking the law that forbade lower-class citizens from directly petitioning the government, and was executed at a young age of 28. Matsunoki became a local hero for his sacrifice, and taxes were eventually lowered. The shrine grounds are a popular spot for viewing cherry blossoms and autumn foliage.
