History
Kotamaishi Shrine rests near Suwa's hot springs, where water steams with healing power and spiritual energy. The kami here celebrates the union of couples and the continuation of family lines. The warmth of the springs mirrors the warmth of human connection the kami encourages. Visitors soak in both literal and spiritual healing, departing renewed in body and spirit.
