History
This unique shrine, which brings sacred blessing to the modern technology of railways, has been revered by railroad workers since the Showa era. Standing high in Nobeyama, it watches over the safe operation of countless trains. As a rare meeting place of machinery and the sacred, this fox finds it endlessly fascinating. Though times change, human wishes remain eternal—the sincere desire to safely deliver what matters most to one's heart.
