Kugumiyahiyoshi Shrine is deified as ubusuna-gami or the guardian god of Kugumiya. Shrines and temples in this area were all burnt down by Otomo's troops. Although it is unclear because documents were scattered and lost, on the tag we can see the year 1464 when a large-scale repair took place.
With splendid sculptures surrounding the main hall, the stationed Chinese phoenix and dragon, facing the east and west, looks as if they will come back to life.
