Yamato Takeru-no-Mikoto
History
According to shrine tradition, it was founded in the 4th year of Emperor Nintoku's reign to honor the event where Yamato Takeru escaped a wildfire during his Eastern Expedition in the 40th year of Emperor Keiko's reign. During the Middle Ages, it received reverence from the Imagawa clan, and in the Edo period, it received donations of shuin-ryo (land granted with a vermilion seal) from Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was elevated to the status of a prefectural shrine in the Meiji era and is currently listed as a special shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.
