Walk along Asagiri-dori from Ujibashi toward Asagiribashi, and as soon as you enter the Sawarabi Road from the middle, you will see a small shrine. Even though he received an order to hunt down and kill Taira no Masakado, it is a shrine to comfort the spirit of Fujiwara no Tadafumi, who was dissatisfied with the fact that the war ended before he took over in the Kanto region and had no reward. It seems that there is no doubt that the person concerned with Fujiwara no saneyorikyo, who issued a hunting and killing order after his death, died.

　It's a small shrine along the street, but I got a little deeper when I saw the local introduction. The court nobles who were removed from the reward deeply hated the Fujiwara family in relation to the Taira no Masakado Rebellion. This shrine was built to calm the feeling that it was attached after death.

it's near the uji river.

It is a small shrine located in a residential area from the road along the Uji River. It is a shrine that you will pass by if you walk without knowing it. Although it is a small shrine, there is a beautiful signboard with an explanation, and I was able to learn about the history of the shrine.
