Horse 1 ~ Gojinmeten

 

Japanese Name:  御神馬殿
Romanized Reading: Gojinmeten
English Translation: Honorable Divine Horse Hall
Size: Small Side Shrine of Oomiya Jinja
Deity: ?
Horse Count: 6+
First Visit: 25-Jul-2018
Location: Morioka
Address: Omiya-51 Motomiya, Morioka, Iwate 020-0866

Another side shrine of Oomiya Jinja, yet this one is again a novelty in my journey around Japan, in that it is clearly dedicated to horses. Not only is there a life-sized horse statue within, but there's also pictures of horses all around the walls, as well as wooden horse plaque.
