History
In 1086 CE, it is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo established a shrine on this site to give thanks for a military victory on his return from pacifying the Oshu region, enshrining the deity of Itsukushima Shrine. Legends state that Yoritomo prayed here to overcome hardships, and the shrine came to be called 'Nabuten-ten' because the approach path allows passage through from north to south. During the Edo period, dog houses for stray dogs were installed in the vicinity due to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's Edict of Compassion for Living Things.
