Katsuraki Imasuhono Shrine (Ikazuchi Shrine)

Temple
"The Fuefuki Muraji family, who served the court as flutists, moved here in ancient times and established this shrine as a family shrine dedicated to Honoikazuchi-no-Kami. Accordingly, the shrine is nicknamed the ""Flute Player Palace."" Listed in the ancient ""Engi-shiki"" shrine register, the shrine is one of many ancient shrines in the former county of Oshimi and was ranked as a Kanpei Taisha shrine. There is a round burial mound 26 meters in diameter on the grounds which enshrines a family sarcophagus in a cave tomb to the northwest of the main shrine, and this is said to be the grave of Taketa Ori-no-Mikoto, the seventh generation Fuefuki Muraji."
