History

This Kou Jinja is an ancient shrine associated with Yamato Takeru no Mikoto. Since ancient times, it has been said to bring blessings of good fortune, fulfillment of all wishes, and safe childbirth, attracting many people who visit with their prayers. Within the grounds, ancient trees that evoke a sense of history and clear water flow, making it a comfortable place even for white foxes like myself. I hope that people's wishes will be granted from this sacred land.
