History

Byakko

Standing in Kuze, Minami Ward, Gensho Shrine mysteriously brings ancient sea-faith into the mountains. It particularly honors women's strength and shields all from harm. Though distant from the ocean, one senses the poignant aroma of salt-tinged air. This shrine continues protecting south Kyoto, sustained by countless women pilgrims, radiating steady protective light.
