History
A Kotohira Shrine in Sanmonsugi, Setana, enshrining the spirit of Konpira brought from Sanuki. This deity protects the sea, boats, and people of these waters. Fishermen have long prayed here before setting sail. Whether seas run rough or calm, Kotohira's protection remains constant, bringing peace to all who venture forth. In this small shrine at the far north, great blessings work their will.
