Suwa Shrine
While the "Kojiki" does not yet explicitly mention the worship of Takeminakata in Suwa, by the following century, we see the name applied to the god worshipped in what is now the Grand Shrine of Suwa: aside from the "Kuji Hongi"'s (807-936 CE) reference to Takeminakata being enshrined in 'Suwa Shrine in Suwa District' the "Shoku Nihon Kōki" mentions the deity 'Minakatatomi-no-Kami of Suwa District, Shinano Province' (信濃国諏訪郡 ... 南方刀美神) being promoted from rankless (无位) to junior fifth rank, lower grade (従五位下) by the imperial court in the year 842 CE (Jōwa 9).
