[Takeshi Shrine/Chiba Prefecture] A shrine associated with Takeshi Saburo Tanemori, founder of Chiba, and the Takeshi family.

Takeshi Shrine in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture

𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃

The deity worshipped here is Takeshi Saburo Tanemori, the third son of Chiba no Suke Tsunetane, who is said to have had his castle in Takeshi.

Tanemori is said to have contributed to the establishment of Chiba as well as the Kamakura Shogunate.

The Takeshi clan came to an end when Takeshi Tanechika was killed in battle in 1538 (Tenbun 7), but Tsunetane's achievements still live on in the Takeshicho area.

The shrine is located a little away from the residential area, and is part of a forest complex.

There is a bamboo grove along the way, which adds to the atmosphere.

A few minutes' walk from here we came to the Hanamigawa River, where Shiodome Bridge was built! The view of the river from this bridge is amazing, with the white clouds and the blue sky reflecting off of each other in a beautiful mirror.
There is also a row of cherry trees, which when in full bloom will make for a spectacular view.
