History
Revering Susanoo's power against epidemics, this shrine has long served as the guardian deity of Ryūgasaki. Its strength in warding off illness and misfortune has repeatedly helped the town survive plague-stricken eras. Its purifying power remains undiminished, cleansing hearts and bodies, dispelling calamity, and protecting the safety of the entire community.
