Nishiki Shrine is dedicated to Fujiwara Yasuhira, the last leader of the northern Fujiwara Clan, and Nishikido Shrine to his wife. Yasuhira fled to Hinai while being purused by his former lord Minamoto no Yasuhira, but was eventually captured and executed. Believing her husband to still be alive, his wife followed him to Hinai. However, upon learning of his death she committed suicide. Taking pity of the fate of the husband and wife, the villagers gave them proper burials and have been tending their graves for over 800 years.
