Ikushima Tarushima Jinja 生島足島神社

Its god is the earth itself: no statue, no inner building, only the ground.

A very ancient shrine in Ueda, already listed in the Engishiki of 927 as a shrine of the first rank (名神大社); one of the very few in Japan dedicated to Ikushima and Tarushima together (the other is in the inner grounds of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo). It received the devotion of the Takeda and then of the Sanada, lords of Ueda: kept here are ninety-four loyalty documents from the vassals of Takeda Shingen (1566–1567), an Important Cultural Property, and in 1610 Sanada Nobuyuki had the secondary shrine dedicated to Suwa, facing north, rebuilt.
