Yatotsurugi Shrine
蒲郡市三谷町七舗１３９
Venerated as the local tutelary deity (Ujigami) of Mitani-machi, this shrine has long been revered by commoners and worshipped by generations of military commanders as a deity of war (Bukami). It is known for hosting the Mitani Festival, a unique ritual celebrated in the Tokai region.
History
Tradition holds that the shrine was founded in 1089 CE. Although it fell into disrepair for a time, in 1190 CE, Minamoto no Yoritomo ordered Ando Fuji Kurou Morinaga to oversee the construction of the shrine buildings. It is also said that Tokugawa Ieyasu visited the shrine to pray for long-lasting military success. During the Meiji era, it was designated as a Goryo (a shrine of local importance). The shrine possesses deep historical ties, having enshrined the divine spirit (Shinrei) of Atsuta Jingu (Atsuta Grand Shrine) through a formal transfer (Kanjo).
