Prince Ohama, who was beaten in the succession of the throne, visited Yoshino, the home of the gods guarding the Yamato Imperial Court, and prayed to God for his victory and played a stringed instrument. Then the goddess appeared on the sound and showed the blessing of victory. This goddess was the “Misen Okami” who was said to have been enshrined on the summit of the mountain by En'nogyōja. The prince, who gained power from this cheerful, won the “JinShin Rebellion” and took the throne to become “Emperor Tenmu”. Later, in order to thank the goddess for protection, the Emperor built a Shrine at the foot of the mountain and became the “Shrine of Ameno Yaskawa”. I tell you that this is the beginning of Tenkawa Shrine.

"The area around Tenkawa Shrine has a description of ""Shiseki Sansui Yatsu no Mori"" in 1791 geographies (such as ""Yamato Meisyo Zue""). Shiseki(four stones) means the Ramudaishi (known as Mushiroiwa) in the Tennokawa river in front of the Minami Hiura Yasaka Shrine, the cobblestone at the entrance to Tsubonouchi, the Inoko stone in front of the Gosho no Bou, and The Lion nasal stone at the area where the Tsubonouchi Valley and Tennokawa river confluenced. Sansui (This is Three wells) is Uenoi, Nakanoi, and Oi. Yatsu no Mori (eight Shrine woods) are Biwa Mountain, where Benzaiten is enshrined, Igashira, Funaoka, Takakura, Takioka, Daikoku, Yasaka and Taniguchi Shrine."

"Raikoin is one of the seven temples that form the Tenkawa Shrine. Originally, Raikoin was located on the “Oku Imperial Palace”(The rear palace) on the east side ofTenkawa Shrine. It is said that it was a Imperial Palace of the Southern Dynasty. After being burned down by a large fire, it was rebuilt in its current location.

In the hall, there is a Buddha statue of Senju Kannon (Muromachi period) and Dainichi Nyorai. In addition, the statue of Fudo Myooh, and Two children's statues which is said to be a late Heian period, is also enshrined.

The ginkgo tree in the precinct is 6.9m around the trunk and 35m high, and is said to be hand-planted by Kobo Daishi. From the middle of the trunk, “Chi-chi”, the proof of an old tree, hangs down. The stone monument that stands beside the precincts is called the “Ajikan monument”. “A”, a word representing the essence of Shingon esoteric Buddhism, carved while Kobo Daishi Kukai was practicing at this Tenkawa Shrine.

It is engraved with 23 letters of Komyo Shingon, centered around the Bon character (Sanskrit ""a""). This represents the universe, the source of everything."

Yasaka Shrine is dedicated to two Gozu Tenno, known as the gods of Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto.

One statue is a kneeling cow, and it lacks the head of the cow thought to have been on the top, but it is a statue that straddles a three-faces, six-armed, six-legged. The height is 34.7cm and the material is cypress. It is an expression of anger with the burning hair upside down, wide open eyes and wide mouth, but the expression is mild, generally carved shallow, and seems to be a late Heian period work. The other is a three-faces, six-armed sitting with the head of a cow on the top. The features of the late Heian period are seen in the plump body and slight left the expression on the right sleeve. The height is 17.2 cm and it is cypress wood.

Gozu Tenno was originally a guardian deity of “Gion Syoja” in India. It entered China and was mixed with “Yin-Yang”, creating a spell that eliminates trouble. In Japan, it is mixed with Shinto and is identified as "Susanoh no Mikoto".

In the Goshiki district along the Tennokawa river, the DaiShogun Shrine is enshrined.DaiShogun is a god who controls the direction of “Taihakusei” (Venus) in the “Yin Yang”. It is an important place to protect the northeast of Tenkawa Shrine.

In addition, it is said that in the past, there was no residence other than a shrine in the Tsubonouchi area where the Tenkawa Shrine was located, and it is said that those who served the shrine commute from the surrounding Hiura and Goshiki districts.

The Tennokawa Onsen, which is close to the Tenkawa Shrine, uses the Koya umbrella pine for the bathtub and Yoshino cedar, cypress, pine, and maple for the building. In addition, this hot spring uses a firewood boiler that uses thinned wood as fuel. This is an onsen that is particular environment-friendly for the “ tree”.

“Mitarai” is also written as “Place to wash hands” and “Three tubs”, and is a place where the sad history of the southern dynasty is hidden. It is said that the children of the southern dynasty who had fled from the chasers of the northern dynasty accidentally fallen into the river and died at “Hikari no Taki” (upper part) and “Ao Don Pass”. Now it has several suspension bridges and is a place to enjoy the beauty of autumn leaves and the valley.

He found the fountain well springs up from the cave, and enshrined "Eight dragon kings" in and edge of the spring. He trained himself by the water training in the spring and since then it is said to be the beginning of the Ryusenji temple. The name of Ryusenji derieved from the spring which dragon king lived at the entrance of the cave. It's a gentle pond in now, but you're telling that those days was deep and was a clear spring in blue so that the bottom wasn't also seen.

Later, it was revived by the "Shobo Rigen Daishi" made the origin of the restoration of mountaineering asceticism and was the holy ground where many monks were training. Most in a building in a precinct was burned away by a conflagration in a Dorogawa area in 1946, but a temple were revived in 1960, and on July 10 of the same year, the Ryusenji temple precinct where used to ladies couldn't enter and was opened freely in the same year.

In 1928, it was designated as a national natural monument, and its designated site was the surrounding area of “Misen and Hakkyogadake”.
