history

The date of its founding is unknown, but it is said to have been built during the reign of Emperor Keikō . It is also said that the shrine building was built during Empress Saimei 's visit to Muroyu . The Fujishiro Suzuki clan, the direct descendants of the Hozumi clan, whose ancestor is Nigihayahi- no -Mikoto, the main deity of this shrine, have served as priests for generations as a shrine family . Later, this place would become the base for spreading Kumano faith throughout the country.

During the heyday of the medieval Kumano Goko, it was revered as one of the five most prestigious shrines among the 99 shrines, and was considered the No. 1 torii gate in Kumano (the entrance to Kumano) and a key location on the way to Kumano. In the pilgrimage diary of Yoshida Tsunefusa (collected in the Yoshiki ), the entry for September 25, 1174, states that "At Fujishiro-oji, village kagura was performed," and in the pilgrimage diary of Hirohashi Tsunemitsu (collected in the Minkei-ki ), the entry for April 25, 1210, states that when visitors made pilgrimages, the Narekomai dance and village kagura dance were performed by shrine maidens who were stationed at Fujishiro-oji . In the pilgrimage diary of Emperor Gotoba (collected in the Meigetsuki ), the entry for October 9, 1201, states that "offerings to the sutras" and "shirabyoshi" appear, and it was customary for offerings of poetry, village kagura, sumo wrestling, and other such events to be held. The road leading west from the east entrance to the temple grounds was once the Kumano pilgrimage route, and the main approach to the north is connected to the route of the early modern Kumano Kaido road.

During Emperor Gotoba's pilgrimage to Kumano in 1201, a poetry gathering was held in Yuasa, Fujishiro's next lodging, and the poems composed at the gathering were dedicated to Prince Fujishiro. Three copies of poems composed by Emperor Gotoba and others at this time have been preserved as Kumano Kaishi and are held in the Yomei Bunko Collection and elsewhere.

A document from the Zenrinji Temple dated 1400 lists the area as " Fujishiro Oji Men" (Fujishiro Oji Domain ), which indicates that the family had 3 cho 3 tan of land, the largest area of land in the Ono district. However, the shrine buildings and sacred grounds were lost during the civil wars of the Sengoku period .

In 1601, Asano Yukinaga donated six koku of land to the village of Fujishiro (Shoku Kii Fudoki ). In addition, construction of the shrine building was carried out in the same year and in 1666. [ The Kii Zoku Fudoki, a geographical record compiled by the Kishu Domain in the late Edo period, records the shrine as Fujishiro Wakaichi Oji Gongen Shrine, and that its grounds measured 28 bays east to west and 30 bays north to south, with three main doors, an office, an offering hall, a bell tower, a stone torii gate, and three sub-shrines , and that a branch temple of Wakayama Ungai-in served as the head priest.

In the Meiji era, the separation of Shinto and Buddhism and the destruction of Buddhism took place, but the three wooden seated statues of Kumano Sansho Gongen Honji Buddha (designated tangible cultural properties by Wakayama Prefecture) that were at this shrine escaped damage and remain at the shrine to this day. After the Meiji period, it was ranked as a village shrine, then in the early Showa period it was ranked as a town shrine, and in 1939 (Showa 14) it was ranked as a prefecture shrine. In 1909 (Meiji 42), Haraedo Oji was enshrined there.

  • Garden - The stroll-style pond garden was created towards the end of the Muromachi period .

Sub-shrines

• 藤白王子権現本堂 - 権現堂とも呼ばれる。境内にある藤白王子権現本堂は藤代王子を顕彰するもので、祭神の本地仏3体が祀られている。これらの仏像はもともと藤代王子の神宮寺であった中道寺に祀られていたものであったが、天正13年（1585年）の豊臣秀吉による紀州征伐に際して危害が及んだ際に縁の寺院に避難させていたものを江戸時代に復したものである。明治の神仏分離の際の破棄を免れ今日に伝わっている。仏像はいずれも平安時代末期の作で、主要な像に以下のものがある。
  • 木造熊野三所権現本地仏坐像（和歌山県指定有形文化財）
    • 木造阿弥陀如来坐像 - 家都美御子大神の本地仏。
    • 木造薬師如来坐像 - 熊野速玉大神の本地仏。
    • 木造千手観音坐像 - 熊野夫須美大神の本地仏。
  • 木造十一面観音立像（和歌山県指定有形文化財） - 藤白若一王子の本地仏。
  • 毘沙門天及び不動明王三尊像 - 熊野の入り口の守護。
• 有馬皇子神社 - 祭神：有間皇子。付近にある藤白坂で中大兄皇子（天智天皇）によって絞首刑に処せられた。
• 恵比寿神社 - 祭神：恵比寿。かつては市場のあった名高字蓬莱丁にあったが、明治時代になって当社に移築された。
• 巳神社
• 祇園神社
• 秋葉神社
• 住吉神社
• 塩釜神社
• 子守楠神社 - 祭神：熊野杼樟日命。南方熊楠は藤白王寺の境内にあるこの社から「熊」・「楠」の字を授けてもらった。また、兄妹の名前に見える「藤」の文字も子どもが生まれると、この社から授けてもらい神の加護によって無事成長することを祈って命名した。これは楠の木に対する信仰に由来する。藤白王子が周辺二十四か村の産土神であり、楠木神社から名を授かる風習のあったことは『紀伊国名所図会』にもみえる。
