History

Byakko

Soma Jinja is enshrined on the ruins of Soma-Nakamura Castle in Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture. It enshrines Ame-no-Minakanushi-no-Okami and Taira no Masakado, the tutelary deity of the Soma clan. The shrine flourished during the late Edo and early Meiji periods as part of the trend of venerating clan founders. Closely associated with the Soma Nomaooi festival, it served as a place for successive Soma lords to pray for military fortune. Ranked as a prefectural shrine, it remains a symbol of regional pride and tradition.
