History
Stationed at Nakakumizu, this shrine harnesses the cleansing power of the waterfall. Since ancient times, practitioners have undergone ritual purification beneath the falls, washing away sins and impurities in the torrent. Through the purifying force of water and divine blessing, the souls of all who visit remain eternally pure and clear.
