History
This appears to be a temple rather than a jinja, yet we present it as such. It is a sacred place that has long served as a spiritual pillar for the community in the Karasu-yama area. Situated within a residential neighborhood, its serene precincts allow one to forget the bustle of the city. It is cherished as a place of peace where the daily prayers and gratitude of the community members are gathered.
