History
Standing on Kitajima, this shrine receives the heartfelt prayers of farmers through seasons of planting and harvest. The fox spirit watches the green rice fields transform into waves of golden grain, understanding humanity's deepest wish—sustenance from the earth. Here, soil and soul commune.
