#SummerCampaign Ago Shrine is known as the final resting place of Sanada Yukimura during the Summer Siege of Osaka. It's a popular shrine visited by Sanada fans from far and wide. During the Summer Siege of Osaka in 1615 (the first year of the Genna era) during the early Edo period, Sanada Yukimura devised a strategy to isolate the Tokugawa forces and marched from Chausuyama, aiming to take Tokugawa Ieyasu's head. He pushed Tokugawa Ieyasu so far that he was prepared to commit seppuku, but was stopped by reinforcements. He dismounted his horse at Yasui Shrine during his retreat, where he was discovered and killed by his pursuers. The site features a monument commemorating the death of Sanada Yukimura and a statue of Sanada Yukimura. The Sanada Pine tree stands nearby. It's said that Sanada Yukimura met his end leaning against this lone pine tree. The current pine tree is not the same as it was back then, but appears to be a newly planted second-generation tree.

#SummerCampaign Shoyasu Shrine is an ancient shrine dedicated to Hikona-no-kami (the god of the mountains), Sugawara no Michizane. It is also known as Yasui Tenmangu Shrine. When Sugawara no Michizane was demoted to Dazaifu in 901, he stopped here for a rest on his way to visit his aunt, Kakuju-ni, who was at Domyo-ji Temple in Kawachi. At the time, villagers who sympathized with Michizane presented him with rice crackers and, in return, received the Sugawara family crest, a plum blossom. This is said to have become the plum blossom trademark on "Awa-okoshi," a specialty of Osaka. Yasui Shrine was built by villagers in 942, after Michizane's death, to enshrine his spirit. It is also said that the name "Yasui" came from the nearby well, one of the Seven Famous Springs of Tennoji. It's also said that the name "Ago" (ango) came from the fact that monks from Shitennoji Temple would practice their summer retreat (Natsu-Ago Geango) at this shrine. The main shrine building was completely destroyed during the Great Osaka Air Raid of 1945, and the current building was later rebuilt. The shrine also enshrines Kanayamahiko Shrine and Inari Daimyojin, its subsidiary shrines. The grounds include the Kanshizume Well, one of the Seven Famous Springs of Oji, said to have been drank by Michizane, as well as a monument to Sanada Yukimura, who was killed in battle by the Tokugawa forces during the Summer Siege of Osaka.
