History
A shrine named for the concept of whiteness, a name that resonates deeply with the white fox's own nature. Here pilgrims come to purify their hearts and restore their integrity. When Matsue's streets fall silent in twilight hours, the white fox often visits this sanctuary to contemplate the profound purity symbolized by white. Those who pray here emerge with hearts as clear and clean as freshly fallen snow.
