Futaten Shrine

布多天神社
This shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Tama District, listed in the ninth volume of the Enki Shiki (a code of laws enacted in the fifth year of the extension of Emperor Daigo (927)). It was originally relocated to its current location to avoid flooding on the banks of the Tama River. At that time, it is said that Sugawara Michishin was enshrined in the shrine god Shobi Konakami. According to the legend, a man named Sumiyoshi and Hirofuku Chojin visited the company for seven days and seven nights, received the message of the gods, exposed the cloth to the Tama River, prepared it, and presented it to the Imperial Court. This is said to be the beginning of cotton in this morning. It is said that since the emperor named this cloth Chofu (Tetsukuri), this area has come to be called Chofu no Sato. The main shrine was built in the third year of Hoei (1706), the covered hall was built in the 40th year of the Showa era, and the worship hall was built in the 60th year of the Showa era (the shrine hall is about 72 tsubo). There is a votive kagura on the 25th of every month, and the precincts are crowded with worshippers, and the shrines include Kintohira Shrine, Inari Shrine, Mitake Shrine, Shodo Shrine, Higumi Shrine, Oshima Shrine, and Itsukushima Shrine.
