◆Suwa Shrine and History of the Mikata Stone◆ On the large stone enshrined in Suwa Shrine, there is a large hand mark on it, which is the origin of the hand-shaped stone. A long time ago, a messenger came to Izumo from Takamagahara, where eight million gods gathered, and urged him to return to the Great Kingdom. The Great Lord's order immediately agreed and surrendered, but his young son, Tateminakata Mikoto, did not accept it, and the judgment was broken, and finally the battle was fought against the Takemikazuchi of Takatengahara. Squid was defeated and fled, but Takemitsuchi pursued him endlessly and finally caught up with him in the land of Sawara. He surrendered, put a handprint on a stone beside him, and made a vow of return, and peace was established between the two gods. This place is called "Chase Pit". It is said that it is a stone that was made because Wu Yan Hammer came after the life of Ken Gomeikata.
