History

Byakko

I shall speak of the glorious Tomioka Hachimangu. This shrine enshrines Emperor Ojin as its principal deity and is said to bring blessings for victory luck, exorcism, and academic achievement. It has a history of gathering the faith of many people as a local guardian deity since ancient times. A serene atmosphere flows within the precincts, seemingly cleansing the hearts of visitors. This white fox is also often drawn to its sacred ambiance. It is a shrine that listens to people's wishes, both powerfully and gently.
