History
Legend holds that Iwato Shrine was once home to a small deity and a dragon that protected it. When local residents moved the small deity to Aho-Hachiman Shrine, the dragon remained behind, continuing to wait at the shrine for the deity's return. To this day, during the mikoshi (portable shrine) festival of Aho-Hachiman Shrine, participants stop at this shrine to reunite the deity and the dragon.
