Takeda-jinja Shrine was built in 1919 on the site where Tsutsujigasaki Castle once stood for 62 years as the residence of three generations of Takeda Clan warlords in Kai Province—Nobutora, Shingen, and Katsuyori. The site is now a nationally designated Historic Site. The shrine is dedicated to Takeda Shingen.
The original moat, earthen embankment, stone wall, old well, and other such facilities of Tsutsujigasaki Castle remain throughout the grounds of the shrine.
The treasure hall houses various artifacts, including a Yoshikoka Ichimonji brand of sword that has been designated a National Important Cultural Property, and armors and swords associated with the Takeda Clan collected from around the country.
The grounds of the shrine are a showcase of several hundred species of trees donated from throughout the prefecture. In particular, the “Sanyo no Matsu” lacebark pine, which turns a golden color and sheds its needles, is a species that is rare even within Japan.
