Tegona Reijindo

The place I visited this time is Tegona Reijindo, located in Mama, Ichikawa City. This sacred hall is known as a place that enshrines Tegona, a beauty of unparalleled loveliness sung in the Manyoshu. Tegona has a sad legend that despite having many suitors due to her beauty, she never ended up with anyone. Therefore, it is said to bring benefits of matchmaking, and many people visit seeking good relationships. It is also said to offer benefits of safe childbirth and academic success. This quiet and tasteful place is fitting for contemplating ancient tales.
