Tsurugi Shrine

Oda in Echizen Town is the hometown of Oda Nobunaga's ancestors. As a result, Oda Nobunaga deeply revered Tsurugi Shrine as his guardian deity, even during the turbulent Warring States period, and devoted himself to protecting Tsurugi Shrine and maintaining peace among the residents. The temple bell, which has been handed down from the Nara period, is a national treasure, and the main hall is a designated cultural property of Fukui Prefecture. The national treasure bell is said to be the third oldest in Japan, and is one of the six national treasures in Fukui Prefecture. Stamp notebooks bearing the Oda crest are popular.
