Takenaka-jinja (竹中稲荷神社) is a small but beautiful sub-shrine of Yoshida-jinja (吉田神社). Standing on the western summit of Yoshida-yama, the forlorn grounds betray the shrine's vibrant history of dashing poets, civil disorder and butterfly dances.

Most of the shrine records have been lost, but in other works there is mention of a vast, snaking tunnel of shrine gates leading from mountain base to the worship hall.
