The old shrine is said to have been founded in the Imperial era of the first Emperor Jinmu. In the Katori Forest, a shrine full of giant cedar trees, there is a shrine dedicated to Takeshin. The present-day main temple (Important Cultural Property) was built by the Tokugawa 5th Shōgun, Tsunayoshi in the year of Genroku 13 (1700). Zhu Ying's Rongmen (Important Cultural Property) was also built in the same year. The forehead of a naval serviceman from the Meiji and Taisho periods, Heihachiro Togo, hangs, and the hand-planted cherry tree of Mitsukuni Tokugawa, known as the Yellow Gate Cherry Blossom, remains on his right hand. The treasure house displays fine arts and crafts and ancient documents such as the Sea Beast Grapiscope (national treasure) transmitted to the shrine.

The bridge of glasses

Western-style Mie-bashi, a masonry method, on the lower Nagao River at Takiguchi, Shirahama. Because there are three arches, it is not really glasses, but it has come to be called a glasses bridge from the appearance of moving to the river. The bridge was built in Meiji 21 (1888) with a donation of 399 yen and 40 yen from the villagers. He said he had walked across the river before the construction. It is a sturdy bridge that, in wartime, tanks passed through it without being broken by the Great Kanto Earthquake. Repair work was carried out in 1977 and 1993, and the figure remains at the time of construction. Prefectural Designated Tangible Cultural Property. Japan's Meihashi Hyakusyo.
