Outline and History
Mount Tanjō is not the tallest mountain of Tanjō Mountains, but this mountains was a symbol of the mountains. In the middle of this mountain, there was a Buddhist temple Myōyōji which was said to be established by Donan-Gyoja, a prince of King Seong of Baekje. Today’s Tanjō Shrine was understood as a part of this temple. Mount Tanjō was also estimated as an old mine of mercury, because the name Tanjō, originally means Nyu, mercury. Tanjō Shrine is a place to enshrine a goddess of mercury.
