Ikushina Shrine, Shinto shrine in Ota, Japan
The Ikushina shrine stands on an elevated ground with traditional wooden structures and contains multiple buildings connected by stone pathways throughout its grounds.
The shrine gained its National Historic Site designation in 1934, marking its role as a gathering point for Nitta Yoshisada's revolt against the Kamakura shogunate in 1333.
The shrine honors the deity Ōkuninushi, associated with agriculture and medicine, through regular ceremonies and maintains traditional Shinto practices throughout the year.
Visitors reach the shrine by taking a 15-minute bus ride from Ota Station on the Tobu Isesaki Line, with clear directional signs leading to the entrance.
A bronze statue of Nitta Yoshisada, installed in 1983, marks the exact location where this medieval general first gathered his forces against the ruling power.
