Mihashira Shrine (Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture.)

A shrine dedicated to Tachibana Muneshige, the first lord of the Yanagawa Domain and hailed as the "Strongest Warrior in Western Japan," his wife Ginchiyo-hime, and her father Bekki Dosetsu. After losing his domain following the Battle of Sekigahara, Muneshige was forced to leave Yanagawa but later returned as its lord. Remarkably, he was the only warlord to regain his former domain, earning him reverence as the "God of Revival," with blessings for success, achievement, and resurgence.

The "Onigie" festival, which draws large crowds every year, began in the Edo period as an autumn grand festival to thank the gods for a bountiful harvest.
During the festival, the "Goshinko" procession takes place. Leading the parade is the "Dorotsukudon" hayashi float, designated as an intangible folk cultural property of Fukuoka Prefecture, accompanied by vibrant music and dance performances. Following it are lively dancing floats that parade through the streets, bringing excitement to the entire town.

The shrine is also famous for its diverse goshuin (shrine stamps). In addition to the standard stamp, visitors can obtain seasonal goshuin featuring floral and tree illustrations or intricate kirie (cut-paper art) goshuin that depict Yanagawa's scenic landscapes.
