Tenjin Shrine

It is also called Daibontennosha Shrine and was the guardian deity of the seven villages of Takihata.
Tenjin Shrine was originally called Daibontennosha Shrine and was the guardian deity of the seven villages of Takihata. It houses numerous talismans from the late Muromachi period, the Eisho and Tenbun eras, and the early Edo period. The toad-legs (a type of architectural detail that supports the weight of the upper part. They are named after their outlines that resemble frog legs, and gradually became more decorative from the Middle Ages) on the front of the main hall are indicative of the style of the Northern and Southern Courts period, and the main hall is believed to have been built during this period.
