On the occasion of the legend of Kabutoshima and the conquest of Minamoto Yoshiie Oshu, he stopped his horse here and asked the fishermen about the origin of this Yogi Shrine, and prayed for the victory of the army by worshipping the god himself. On the way back from Oshu Heisada, he visited the company again and dedicated the helmet. Thereafter, this place was called Kabutoshima. The legend of the turtle shell. At the end of the Meiji era, a large sea turtle wandered into Shinagawaura and was captured by a large number of fishermen, but unfortunately he died alone with a rope tied around his neck.
