History

Surrounded by ancient hinoki cypress groves, Hinoki-o Shrine has been revered as a sacred place of fire protection. The fragrance of cypress purifies malevolent spirits, and hearts are cleansed here. Since ancient times, many have sought divine protection from fire during dangerous seasons.
