Shiratori Shrine
〒769-2702 香川県東かがわ市松原６９
Located in Higashikagawa City, Kagawa Prefecture, this shrine preserves legends stating that the spirit of Yamato Takeru descended here. The grounds feature Mt. Miya, known as 'Japan's lowest mountain,' and a pine grove selected as one of Japan's Top 100 White Sand and Green Pine Sites.
History
According to legend, the shrine originated when Takekuma no Mikoto built a tomb based on the story of Yamato Takeru's spirit descending as a white bird. It was revived through donations from Matsudaira Yorishige, the first lord of the Takamatsu Domain, in 1664 (Kanbun 4), and was designated a Kenja (Prefectural Shrine) in 1872 (Meiji 5).
