History
Standing in central Tsuchiura, this shrine has become a sacred place that harmonizes and settles the heart, like the melody of an ancient koto. I have felt the hearts of many visitors find silence and harmony in this shrine. The beauty of each season adorns the shrine halls and reflects in the hearts of visitors, bringing balance to their body and spirit. Unchanged since ancient times, this place remains a spiritual refuge for all people.
