History
Named Ukakami, this temple has preserved ancient faith alongside the traditions of cormorant fishing. Though standing quietly in Fuchu, it is revered as a source of water's blessings and human connection. From fishermen on the waters to merchants in the castle town, many have made their wishes before this sacred place.
