Bantai Jinja (Bantai Shrine)

磐梯町磐梯八幡4614

4.3(3)

A shrine located in Bantai Town, Fukushima Prefecture, originally established to pacify Mount Bantai.

History

Bodhisattva Tokui of the Hosso sect established the shrine in 807 CE (Daidō 2) as the guardian shrine (Chinju-sha) of Kei-ji Temple, honoring Mount Bantai, which had long been revered as a sacred mountain. It is also one of the shrines enshrined in the eight cardinal directions by Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai) in the following year, acting under imperial command to pacify the land of Aizu, which had been devastated by the major eruption of Mount Bantai in 806 CE (Daidō 1).
