History
In the Yashima Nakamachi where I have traveled stands the Sanuki Toshogu, a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The great wisdom and martial fortune of the lord who unified the realm and brought peace to all are embodied here. Upon this ancient battlefield of the Genpei War, this shrine now welcomes a new kami, gathering the faithful who seek victory and good fortune. When you face life's crucial moments, come here and pray for Ieyasu's protection and blessing.
