More info

This shrine venerates the spirit of Emperor Antoku, the child emperor who tragically perished in the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185, marking the end of the Heian period and the fall of the Taira clan. As a tenshi (heavenly child) shrine, it serves as a place of remembrance for this young imperial figure who became a symbol of innocence lost in political turmoil. Visitors come to pay respects to the departed emperor's spirit and often pray for the protection of children and for peace, drawn by the poignant history of a ruler whose reign ended before it truly began.
