Suwazaki Shrine
〒294-0316 千葉県館山市洲崎１６９７
Located in Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture, this is a shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) and a candidate for the ancient shrine of the same name. It has a history of being designated as the first shrine of the Awa Province. It is well known for its protection of maritime safety and its deep connections to Shugendo (a form of mountain asceticism).
History
The shrine's origin is said to trace back to Amateru no Mikoto, who, on the orders of Emperor Jinmu, enshrined a mirror possessed by his grandmother, the deity Amaterano-ime, on Mt. Mitara (Mt. Misogi). During the Edo period, it was designated as the first shrine of the Awa Province and has long played an important role in protecting maritime safety and serving as a base for Shugendo. There is a tradition that Minamoto no Yoritomo visited the shrine to offer gratitude for maritime safety and to pray for a safe delivery for Hojo Masako.
