As you get to know, Nirasaki is a place where the Takeda family started. Though there are lots of sites related to the family, Takeda Hachimangu is one of important sites. Takeda Nobuyoshi was celebrated his coming of age (it is called as Genpuku) at the shrine and made himself known as the Takeda family in 1140. That is to say, there is the origin of the Takeda family. The main shrine was reconstructed by Takeda Shingen in 1591, which is designed as national important cultural properties. The structure shows some characteristics of architecture in Muromachi era and the strength of the family. Also, the reason why the shrine is unique is because the shrine has three torii (a shrine gate). These symbolize the power of god.
