This shrine is the origin of the name of Chiryu. It is the most prestigious shrine in the western Mikawa region, and it is believed that Yamato Takeruno-Mikoto built the original shrine. A two-story pagoda from the time of the Muromachi Shogunate was erected on the shrine grounds, and precious cultural assets are stored inside, such as masks for court dancing and music and for Noh drama, and documents associated with Hideyasu Matsudaira. Furthermore, the neighboring Japanese Iris Garden in Chiryu Park forms a carpet of blooming irises in June, and it is a must-see attraction.
