Take-da Shrine
The Takeda Shrine, dedicated to the renowned samurai Takeda Shingen, was established in 1919 at the site of the historic Tsutsujigasaki Castle. This location, which served as the political center for three generations—Shingen, Nobutora, and Katsuyori—still features remnants of the original moat, earthen walls, stone walls, and ancient wells. The treasure hall within the shrine grounds displays important cultural properties designated by the country, including swords and armor associated with the Takeda clan. Surrounded by beautiful trees that change with the seasons, the shrine is also popular for its power spots such as “Hime no Ido” (Princess's Well) and “Mitsuha no Matsu” (Three-Leaved Pine). Shingen was a celebrated military leader of the Sengoku period, known for his efforts in flood control projects and the development of agriculture and commerce, earning the affection of his people.
