The Truth of Seoritsuhime & Kusunoki Masashige: Takemikumari Shrine [Osaka/History Explore]

Kusunoki Masashige—a medieval samurai warrior described in Japanese history textbooks as an "akuto" (a rebellious local leader), yet still revered as a beloved local hero in his hometown today. And Seoritsuhime—a mysterious Shinto goddess rumored to have been "erased from history." Are these rumors and legends actually true? Join us on a historical exploration of Takemikumari Shrine in Chihaya-akasaka, the only remaining village in Osaka Prefecture, where authentic history and ancient myth intersect! Be sure to watch until the end! Even if you used to dislike history, I want you to feel "History is so cool!"
