Called locally Tirangama and is written with the Chinese characters meaning the "temple cave". It is located halfway up a limestone cliff overlooking the mouth of the Makiminato
River. This is the cave where Shunten and his mother are said to have waited for the return of Tametomo Minamoto. Shunten later went on to become king. At present it has become a sacred area in Makiminato, and there is a place for prayer called "Makiminato no Ben" in the cave.
