Tandahara Tenzu Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Takasato, Akita Prefecture, but there seems to be a possible location mix-up with the given Saitama prefecture. This shrine may actually be located in Tochigi or Fukushima, however its connection to Saitama was not accurate. It is dedicated to Tenzu, a Shinto deity of thunder and lightning.
