Suga Shrine
The old shrine was founded by Fujiwara Hidego [Fujiwara no Hidesato] from Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto, Japan, and founded it in Tenkei 3rd year (940). The shrine was later dedicated to the shrine land and the shugami koshi [Akamikoshi] by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who made a prayer for Sekigahara. Every year at the Gion Festival in July, a two-tonne weight of Daijin is repaid.
