History
Kimoto Shrine, enshrined in Kimoto, Kumano, stands still as the protector of the ancient fishing village. Enveloped in the scent of rocky shores and sea breeze, this shrine, carved through millennia, is a place of devout faith for seafarers. Even in the era I guarded, its divine power remains unchanged, shining without losing light even in the rough waves.
