Sanko Shrine

He is known as the god of protection against paralyzed winds, and the first day of prayer is June 1st every year, and a seven-day festival to pray for protection against paralyzed winds is held.
Sanko Shrine is enshrined on a small hill south of Tamatsukuri (formerly Himeyama), and the three deities it enshrines are Amaterasu Omikami, Tsukuyomi-no-son, and Su-no-son, and it has been known since ancient times as the god of warding off the wind, and is celebrated on June 1st every year. As the first day of prayer, a grand festival to pray for protection against paralysis is held for seven days. In addition, Takeuchi Sukune, a subsidiary shrine, is enshrined as the god of wealth and longevity, and is one of the deities of Juro, one of the Osaka Seven Gods of Fortune, and is constantly visited by worshipers. On June 1, 1945, all of the buildings, including the shrine buildings, were destroyed in an air raid, but thanks to the efforts of the shrine parishioners after the war, the shrine is now in its current state. This area is thought to be part of the Sanada Maru, and it is said that there was an underground passageway to Osaka Castle called the ``Sanada loophole.'' Traces of this can still be seen today, and the entrance is usually closed off with an iron gate. The statue of Yukimura Sanada, standing tall in command, was erected on May 5, 1986. The pedestal is a stone (Sanada stone) taken from Hasedera, the family temple of the Sanada family in Ueda, Shinshu.
