This sanctuary is dedicated to Todo Takatora who was the Daimyō of the Tsu region. In the course of his life he changed seven times as a feudal master, the last lord being Tokugawa Ieyasu. Todo Takatora was also famous for his excellence in designing castles. Nijō Castle and Wakayama Castle are part of his works. Here you can find the Tōdō family coat of arms everywhere.
