History
Mizuochi Jinja has been enshrined in the Fukuroi area since ancient times, and as its name suggests, is deeply connected to the blessings of clear water. This region is part of the abundant rice paddy lands of the Enshu Plain, and has gathered the faith of people alongside the development of agriculture. Water is the source of life, and for those praying for abundant harvests, this shrine has held special significance. As the tutelary deity of the region, it has been carefully protected by successive generations and continues to watch over the peace and prosperity of the community to this day.
