Amaterasu Omikami
History
It is said to have originated from a local guardian shrine located on the former estate of Fujiwara no Tada-michi during the late Heian period. Legend has it that Minamoto no Yorimasa prayed at this shrine to defeat the Nue (a mythical monster), and the bow and arrow (Yajiri) used in that instance are preserved as a treasure. Following the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism edict in the early Meiji period, only the shrine remained after the Buddhist temple that had previously managed it was dissolved.
