The Stone Yoritomo Minamoto's Horse Held On
Some legends of the founder of Kamakura Bakufu (Shogunate) and the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto remain in Ichikawa city. According to Azuma Kagami that describes how Yoritomo and Kamakura Bakufu gained and kept the political power shows him visit the provincial capital of Shimousa (now in Ichikawa city). And the records of Katsushika Hachimangu Shrine tell that Yoritomo visited it to pray for his success and he rebuilt the main hall later. It was written on the surface of Genko no Bonsho Bell preserved in the shrine that Yoritomo deeply believed it. This stone his horse was held on remains in Katsushika Hachimangu Shrine during his visit.
Moreover, there are several legends of Yoritomo Minamoto in Ichikawa city. In Shirahata Jinja Shirine, a stone tablet scribing Sodekake no Matsu (a pine tree hanging a sleeve) that Yoritomo would also hang his sleeve on remains. And Yoritomo encamped Shirahata Jinja Shrine and Shirahata Tenjinsha Shrine, so they named 'Shirahata (white flags)' that Yoritomo's banner was. The area name 'Onigoe' was came from a tanka poem that Yoritomo's retainer Tanenori to created. And legends say that an old Udon shop 'Sasaya Udonten' in Gyotoku was named by Yoritomo.
Some say Kamakura in west and Ichikawa in east, Ichikawa may have several Yoritomo's remains and legends.
Anyway, the Stone Yoritomo's Horse Held, Yawata no Yabushirazu and Senbon Icho Gingko Tree were counted as three mysterious spots in Yawata.
