History

Nawa Jinja is a shrine in Daisen Town, Tottori Prefecture, dedicated to Nawa Nagayoshi, a loyal retainer who supported Emperor Go-Daigo during the Kenmu Restoration. The shrine holds the former rank of Bettaku Kanpei-sha and is counted among the fifteen shrines honored for their connection to the Kenmu Restoration. The shrine crest depicts the Nawashi clan's family emblem of a sailing ship, embodying the pride of the Nawa clan. The grounds stand near the site where Nagayoshi raised his banner in support of the emperor. Visitors still come to seek blessings for good fortune, protection from evil, and martial prowess.
