History

Byakko

For ages past, the divine couple has been enshrined in this land of Kawagoe. It is nationally famous as a deity of matchmaking, and many people seeking good relationships visit. It is also said to bring blessings for marital harmony and safe childbirth, making it an indispensable presence for those wishing for family happiness. Even I, a white fox, watch over this sacred place, praying for people's wishes to come true.
