A shrine enshrining Taira no Masakado at the site of his death, historically known as Okoku Daimyojin or Masakado Daimyojin.

History
The shrine is said to have originated when Masakado's third daughter, Nyoin Nyozou, carved an image of him and built a small shrine to house it at the place of his death. Another theory suggests it was founded to pacify his spirit based on the belief in misore (spirits of the dead). In 1908 CE (Meiji 41), it merged with Mamori Shrine, Hōsō Shrine, and Asama Shrine.
