History
An ancient shrine on the shores of Inohana Lake, where deities dwelling beneath the waters protect these lands. Fishermen pray for safety from danger and give thanks for the lake's bounty. For countless ages, it has stood as a spiritual support for the people of Hamana-ko's shores. I too have visited many times, gazing upon the shimmering water's surface.
