Legend tells of a priestess named Akiko, who served at the shrine during the Kamakura period. She was known for her deep connection to the gods and her ability to interpret omens and dreams. One evening, as the sun set behind the shrine’s towering trees, Akiko had a vivid dream—one that would change her life forever. In her dream, the goddess of the shrine, Wakahirume-no-kami, appeared before her and whispered, “The heart of Ikuta is hidden beneath the roots of the oldest tree. It holds the power to protect the city—but only if it is kept safe.”

The next morning, Akiko ventured into the shrine’s sacred forest, searching for the ancient tree. After hours of wandering, she found it—a towering, gnarled tree with roots that seemed to stretch deep into the earth. As Akiko knelt by the tree, she noticed something strange: a small, smooth stone embedded in the roots, glowing faintly. She reached out and carefully retrieved the stone, feeling an overwhelming surge of energy rush through her body.
