Inbe Shrine
Identified in the Engishiki jinmyocho (a register of shrines in an ancient book on Japanese customs and laws), as a shrine of the highest rank in the Oe District, enshrining the deity,Ame-no-washi-no-kami. Long venerated by the Imperial court as Inbe jin, it is said that in the Genpei War, Minamoto No Yoshitsune gave a sword as an offering for protection during battle. In 1187, subjects of Awa from Bando, Banzai, Awa, and Miyoshi donated nearly 1,000 hectares of crops to the shrine, and in 1560,the Hosokawa clan of Sanuki Province also donated another 1,000 hectares of crops.
