Fuchū Rokusho-no-miya Shrine 府中六所宮

Fuchū Rokusho-no-miya refers to 大國魂神社 Ōkunitama Shrine.
It is said that Ōkunitama Shrine began in 111,
when 大國魂神 the Ōkunitama-no-kami was enshrined as a guardian deity of Musashi-no-kuni Province.
In the Heian period, the head shrine called 総社 "sōja" which enshrine various deities together
was set up and Ōkunitama Shrine became the sōja of the Musashi-no-kuni Province.
Furthermore, at the end of the Heian period,
six prominent shrines were enshrined together and became known as Musashi Rokusho-no-miya.
