History
The Kitamoto Hikawa Shrine that I speak of is a shrine nestled in a sacred grove, loved by local people since ancient times. The enshrined deity is Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and it is said to bring benefits such as family safety, exorcism, and safe childbirth. The precincts are refreshing and filled with a sacred atmosphere. In this land, it has likely heard the prayers of people for peace in their lives. Its majestic appearance gives visitors a quiet sense of awe.
