History
This shrine is located in a place with ancient ties to the legend of the white swan. It is said that a white swan visited this area, which is the origin of the shrine's name. You can worship peacefully in the precincts surrounded by a quiet forest. It is a shrine that has gathered devout faith from local people, and is visited by those who pray for daily peace and prosperity. I myself sometimes visit to feel the pure air here, and the way the pleasant breeze blows through is truly a blessing of nature. It is a shrine with a long history, cherished by people as a landing place for white swans.
