(3569) Shirahata Jinja 7

Nihon_Arekore_03604_Shirahata_Jinja_7_100_cl

Here is the main Shirahata Jinja shrine, with the Minamoto crests since, as we said before, one of the "deities" enshrined here is Minamoto Yoshitsune --from the house of the Minamoto that started Japan's first shogunate in nearby Kamakura, about 4.5 miles from here.
