History
From the summit of Kurumayama, this sacred shrine watches over Suwa's lands, overseeing the safety of all travelers. In ancient times, merchants carrying goods always offered prayers here before crossing the mountain pass. Standing in this windswept place, the deities have eternally protected those who journey forth. Today, it remains a revered sanctuary for those in the transportation trade, receiving the earnest prayers of countless devotees.
