Nitta Shrine

Other Sightseeing Spot
A Shinto shrine located near Musashi-Nitta Station beyond a residential area. The shrine is dedicated to the samurai Nitta Yoshioki, second son of Nitta clan head Nitta Yoshisada. The shrine is believed to have been built to console the spirt of Yoshioki, who died a terrible death, and later came to be dedicated to him as the shrine's god. Because of this history, the shrine also has a large collection of arms and crafts which once belonged to the Nitta clan. Nitta Shrine is also known as the origin of the hamaya, a now-common arrow-shaped talisman for warding away evil-in the Edo period, Japanese physician Hiraga Gennai came up with the idea for the hamaya after seeing an arrow being sold at a teahouse in front of the shrine which was claimed to be Yoshioki's.

    東急多摩川線の武蔵新田駅から商店街をしばらく進んで行くとありました。普通の神社のようですが破魔矢発祥の地とあり、境内にはご神木の欅がパワースポットらしいです。
