History
Shimizutani Shrine, guarded by this fox, continues to gather thousands of years of prayers while listening to the sound of clear water flowing. The rain falling in this valley becomes purified water, washing clean the hearts of all people. I pray that you too will dip in these clear waters and cleanse yourself of all defilement.
