Satahiko Shrine (Okano Miya)
〒640-8139 和歌山県和歌山市片岡町２丁目９
A Shikinaisha (shrine listed in the Engishiki) located in Kataokacho, Wakayama City. It is also known by the alternative names 'Okano Miya' and 'Yoshimune-sama Hiraishiya Shrine'. It is renowned as a shrine for praying for national stability and has historically been revered as the protective deity of Wakayama Castle.
History
The date of its founding is unknown, but shrine traditions link it to Michiomi-no-Mikoto, the ancestor of the Otomo clan, and his descendants. Although it fell into disrepair during the conflicts of the Nanbokucho period, it was revived by parishioners during the Kageki era (1441-1443 CE). It was subsequently valued and restored as the protective deity of Wakayama Castle by figures such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Yorinobu, and Tokugawa Yoshimune.
