History
Yamie Shrine in the Sanada valley has long held the prayers of mountain villagers. Through harsh winters and uncertain seasons, families sought here the blessings of togetherness and sustenance. The white fox watches as faith in this shrine becomes a warm hearth that lights the way home through mountain darkness.
