This shrine enshrines the ancestors of the Oda clan, who were lords of the Tendou Domain. Its former official rank was that of a Prefectural Shrine.

History

Takeisao Shrine is one of several shrines established to honor domain founders, a trend popular from the late Edo period through the early Meiji era. It enshrines the ancestors of the Oda clan, lords of the Tendou Domain. Initially, Oda Nobutoshi enshrined them privately within his residence under the name 'Oda Shrine'. In 1869 CE (Meiji 2), the shrine was granted the divine title 'Ken-Oda Shrine'. In 1870 CE (Meiji 3), a branch shrine was established at the summit of Mt. Maizuru. The main shrine was then relocated to its current site on the slopes of Mt. Maizuru in 1884 CE (Meiji 17). It was designated as a Prefectural Shrine in 1873 CE (Meiji 6).

What visitors say

Located on the ruins of a mountain fortress, this compact shrine offers a quiet and solemn atmosphere. Visitors should note that the approach involves narrow paths and steep stairs, requiring caution, especially for large vehicles or during winter conditions. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the shrine office or storehouse entrance. On some occasions, visitors may receive Kinpyo-tou (star-shaped sugar candies) or Komamori (horse-shaped amulets) as offerings.
