Nitta Shrine
The shrine of Yukari Nitta, located a few minutes walk from Musashi-Nitta Station on the Tokyu Electric Railway Tama River Line. It began to be enshrined as Nitta Daimyojin in order to quell the spirit of Nitta Yoshikoshi (the child of Yoshisada), who was murdered by Yaguchi's passing in 1358. Also known by the Jōruri and Kabuki "Shinrei Yaguchi Watari", the middle-Edo orchid scholar and writer Hiraga Gennai visits, and the "yamori", which is made of sacred Shinotake in the precinct, is believed to be the birthplace of the demon arrow.
