History of Chiyobo Inari Jinja Shrine

The history of Chiyobo Inari Jinja Shrine dates back to the Heian period, about 1,000 years ago. When Yoshitaka, the sixth son of Hachimantaro MINAMOTO no Yoshiie, set up a branch family, he was given the family name of Mori and given the ancestral Reiji, Hoken, and portraits of Yoshiie to "keep them for generations." Later, during the Bunmei era, about 550 years ago, Yoshitaka's descendant, Morihakkai, reclaimed the village and enshrined the Reiji handed down from Yoshiie. This was the beginning of Ochobo-san. The name of the shrine is derived from the phrase "Chiyo ni hote." It is now affectionately known as Shinto. The enshrined deities are Omioya no Okami, Inari Okami, and Mioya no Kami.
