History
A shrine standing in the beautiful waters along the shores of Lake Tazawa. Enshrining the water deity of this region, it has since ancient times gathered the faith of those engaged in fishing and agriculture. There is a history of walking together with the blessings of the lake, and it is said that the power of clear water purifies body and spirit while bringing abundant harvests. It is truly a profound sacred place where one can simultaneously feel the beauty of nature and the blessings of the divine.
