Origin of Wakeoe Shrine
According to an old tale, it is said that it all started when Owarinokunimiyatsukoinadane buried a safe delivery power stone that belonged to Jinguukougou (empress Jinguu) when she gave birth to Oujintennou (emperor Oujin). The power stone was buried at a place called “Senbonsugi” and later became to known as Hachiman Shrine. Wakeoe Shrine was mentioned in an old book written in year 927 called “Engishiki-shinmeichou” that had all the names of the shrines in Japan at that time. The sub-shrine, Hachiman Shrine is known for enshrining a deity of childbirth and it is believed that if you spread out the straw harvested in Yasui Village, you will have a safe delivery. In year 1584, Oda Nobukastu, a Japanese samurai; second son of Oda Nobunaga, commanded Wakeoe Shrine to be relocated here. You can find rare pine trees that symbolizes “prosperity” within the precincts of this shrine. Because it grows naturally, it is believed there are special spiritual blessings that brings good luck and good fortune.
