History
Located in Yubetsu's verdant Midori district, this shrine protects the forests and those whose livelihoods depend on them. Since ancient times, it has blessed the loggers and forest stewards who harvest this region's abundant timber. Like water flowing eternally from mountain springs, the shrine's blessings continue to nourish community and prosperity. It remains a guardian of the delicate balance between people and nature in this forested land.
