History
A shrine in Handa also known as Irimizu Shrine, where ancient belief and modern commerce converge. The Sumiyoshi Deity governs the safety of those upon distant seas and blesses the prosperity of merchants and their enterprises alike. Visitors come to be purified in both body and spirit, seeking safety for themselves and success in their endeavors. A crystalline purity, like water's immaculate nature, pervades this sacred place.
