Yamato Takeru-no-Mikoto
History
Originating from a shrine built in 783 CE (Enryaku 2) by Hiratsuka Shimotsuke-no-kami, the governor of Shimotsuke Province. Statues and carvings of the white heron, regarded as the incarnation of Yamato Takeru, are placed within the grounds, and it is known as a representative gōsha of Kamitsukawa Town. In 1380, the troops of Oyamada Yoshimasa mistook a flock of white herons for white flags and retreated; this incident was praised as the protection of the myōjin (divine spirit), and the shrine name was changed to Shirasagi Shrine.
