Mori Minashi Hachiman Shrine

A short walk from the center of Gero’s hot spring district, Mori Minashi Hachiman Shrine is a spacious and quiet place. The shrine grounds are covered in greenery, including sugi (cryptomeria) trees. Ten wooden figures depicting deities, carved in the twelfth century by artisans from the Hida region, sit inside the shrine. The simple figures, designated as Important Cultural Properties, are between 30 and 60 centimeters in height. They are kept behind a locked door, though this does not deter visitors from paying respects to them.

The shrine festival, Tanokami Matsuri, is held every February 14th and is a designated Intangible Cultural Property. The festival celebrates the coming of spring and is an important event for local residents, especially young people, who participate by wearing colorful hanagasa (large conical hats covered in flowers) and performing a traditional dance in a celebration known as dengaku, which dates to the Middle Ages. The hats are why the festival is sometimes referred to as the Hanagasa Festival. Residents pray for and celebrate (in advance) an ample harvest of rice in the coming year.

森水無八幡神社

距離下呂溫泉的小鎮中心不遠處，有一片廣闊的清幽淨地，森水無八幡神社就佇立於此。神社境內被杉木等茂密的綠樹覆蓋，十尊木刻神像坐鎮其中。這些被指定為重要文化財的木雕樸實素雅，高約30至60公分不等，出自西元12世紀飛驒地區工匠之手。神像雖被封存於木門之中，卻不妨礙眾人隔著木門虔誠地參拜。

每年2月14日舉行的神社祭典──「田神節」被指定為無形文化財。對當地人而言，這是一個慶祝春天到來的重要節日；而對於將在祭典中表演傳統舞蹈的年輕舞者來說，更是一個大顯身手的舞台。他們頭戴五彩繽紛的花笠（貼滿花朵的大型圓錐帽），表演一種始於日本中世紀的傳統舞蹈「田樂」。這些花笠還為「田神節」帶來一個貼切的別名——「花笠節」。當地居民會在慶典上祈求並提前慶祝這一年稻米豐收。
