Koan Shrine - Mikawada Obi Imperial Offering Shrine

〒262-0018 千葉県千葉市花見川区畑町2093

4.2(231)

Located in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, this shrine was originally established to enshrine deities of abundant harvests. It later came to enshrining Kitsuinadahime-no-Mikoto and became known as Koan Daimyojin (Great Deity of Child Safety).

History

During the Enryaku era of Emperor Kanmu, local chieftains established the shrine using the hill of the 'Koan Ancient Tomb' as the sacred object (shintai), dedicated to deities of abundant harvests. Around the Engi era of Emperor Daigo, Kitsuinadahime-no-Mikoto was enshrined, and the shrine became known as 'Koan Daimyojin'. In 1193, the wife of Chiba Sadatane had the shrine buildings constructed as a thanksgiving offering after praying for and achieving a safe childbirth of a son.
