History

Nitta Jinja, located in Kanayama-cho, Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, enshrines Nitta Yoshisada as its principal deity. Yoshisada was a prominent warrior of the early 14th century who led the uprising against the Kamakura shogunate in 1333, ultimately defeating the Hojo clan. Revered as a local hero and symbol of loyalty and courage, the shrine draws visitors seeking blessings for military prowess, good fortune, and family safety. It stands quietly on Mt. Kanayama, continuing to watch over the region.
