(Translated by Google) It is said that during Takeru Takeru's eastern expedition, Takeinade no Mikoto, who served as ``Hatagashira,'' was enshrined as the deity, and the company name was ``Hazu'' (Hazu), and it became Hazu Shrine. (There are various theories)
It is also said to be derived from the ``Hakuto no Kami'', a god of the west of the bay, which was a belief of the ancient southern sea people.
The Nanpo people are people of the sea who have connections from southern Kyushu to Okinawa, Taiwan, and as far away as Southeast Asia.
They are distributed in the Shima Peninsula, Chita Peninsula, and Kii Peninsula, where the ama culture remains, as well as in Munakata and Awaji Island, where the three goddesses of Munakata are known, and are thought to have served as a maritime route from the Seto Inland Sea to Southeast Asia.
Tomigashira means the entrance to a port, and it is thought that it was an important place to pray for safety before heading out to sea, and it is thought that people prayed to the god of Tomigashira before setting out on a boat or fishing trip.
The enshrined deity, Kenina Tane-no-Mikoto, was one of the ruling families of the Kofun period, Owari Kunizo, and has a younger sister, Miyazuhime.
Miyazaki Hime was the person Takeru of Japan met in Owari Province on his way back from his expedition to the east, and they made a promise of marriage.
After that, Takeru Nihon set out to kill the savage god of Mt. Ibuki and left the Kusanagi sword with Miyazaki Hime.
However, it is said that Takeru Nihon fell ill at Mt. Ibuki and died in Ise Province without returning to Owari.
The origin of Atsuta Shrine is said to be that Takeru of Japan entrusted the Kusanagi sword to Miyazaki Hime.
Shiritsune no Mikoto, the son of Kenine Tane no Mikoto, served as a minister to the 15th Emperor Ojin.
Kenine Tane no Mikoto himself served the Imperial Court during two generations: the 12th Emperor Keiko and the 13th Emperor Seimu.
It is said that he led the army as vice general during Takeru Takeru's eastern expedition to Japan and accomplished military exploits, and is enshrined at Atsuta Shrine, Uchiuchi Shrine, Hatato Shrine, Hazu Shrine, Narumi Shrine, Owarito Shrine, Yakumo Shrine, etc.
It is said that Kenine Tane no Mikoto and his wife Tamahime lived near Cape Hazu, and that they took walks there almost every day.
Eventually, when Kenine Taneno-no-Mikoto led the naval forces following Takeru of Japan and set out on an expedition to the east, his wife Tamahime was said to have been waiting for her husband's return, so it came to be called Machiaipura.
There are other shrines where Kenine Tane no Mikoto is enshrined.
Utsutsu Shrine (Kasugai City) has its origins as a shrine dedicated to the spirit of Kenina Tane no Mikoto.
On the way back from the eastern expedition, Kenine Taneno-no-Mikoto, who was leading a naval force, found a rare seabird and tried to capture it to present to Takeru Nihon.
However, he fell into the Suruga Sea and drowned, and it is said that after Japan Takeru entered Uchitsu Pass in Owari on his way home, he heard the report from his servant, Kume Yasuri, who came running on a fast horse.He wept and said, ``Utsutsuka, Utsutsuka,'' and enshrined the spirit.
In addition, Hatato Shrine (Nishio City) is said to be the place where Kenine Tane-no-Mikoto, who served as Hatashi, died in a water accident in the Suruga Sea on his way back from the Eastern expedition, and his remains washed up on the coast of this area and were buried by the villagers.

日本武尊の東征の際、「幡頭(はたがしら)」を務めた建稲種命(たけいなだねのみこと)を祭神として、幡頭(はず)を社名とし、羽豆神社(はずじんじゃ)となったといわれています。(諸説あり)
また、古代南方系海人の信仰であり、湾の西方の神である「泊頭(はくとう)の神」から由来するともいわれます。
南方とは九州南部から沖縄、台湾、遠くは東南アジアとのかかわりを持った海の人々です。
海女文化が残る志摩半島や知多半島、紀伊半島、また、宗像三女神の宗像、淡路島に分布し、瀬戸内海から東南アジアに通じる海上の道を担っていたとも考えられています。
泊頭とは港の出入口という意味が含まれ、海に出る前に安全を祈願する場として重要だったと考えられ、船出や漁に出る前、人々は「泊頭の神」に祈っていたと想像されます。
祭神の建稲種命は古墳時代の豪族・尾張国造の一人で、妹に宮簀媛(みやずひめ)がいます。
宮簀媛は日本武尊が東征の帰途、尾張国で出会い、婚姻の約束を交わした人物です。
その後、日本武尊は伊吹山の荒ぶる神を討つために出発し、草薙剣を宮簀媛のもとに残していきました。
しかし、日本武尊は伊吹山で病に倒れ、尾張には戻らず、伊勢国で亡くなったとされています。
熱田神宮の創建は日本武尊が宮簀媛に草薙剣を託したことが由来とされています。
建稲種命の息子、尻綱根命は第15代応神天皇の大臣を務めました。
建稲種命自身は第12代景行天皇と第13代成務天皇の二代の間、朝廷に仕えました。
日本武尊東征の際、副将軍として軍を従え、軍功を挙げたといわれ、熱田神宮・内々神社・幡頭神社・羽豆神社・成海神社・尾張戸神社・八雲神社などに祭られている。
建稲種命と妻の玉姫は羽豆岬のあたりに住んでいたとされ、毎日の様に散歩していたとされる。
やがて建稲種命が日本武尊に従い水軍を率いて東征の出陣の時、妻の玉姫は夫の帰りをずっと待ち続けていたとされる浦の為、待合浦と呼ばれる様になりました。
建稲種命が祭られている神社は他にもあります。
内々(うつつ)神社(春日井市)は建稲種命の霊を祭ったのが起源です。
東征の帰路、水軍を率いていた建稲種命が珍しい海鳥を見つけ、日本武尊に献上するため、捕まえようとしました。
しかし、駿河の海に落ち水死してしまい、日本武尊がその帰路で尾張の内津峠に入った後、早馬で駆けてきた従者の久米八腹からその報告を聞き、悲泣して「うつつかな、うつつかな」といい、その霊を祀ったといいます。
また、幡頭神社(西尾市)は東征の帰路、「幡頭」を務めた建稲種命が駿河の海で水難事故で死に、遺骸がこの地の海岸に流れ着き、村人達により葬られた地といわれています。
