History
Hoso Shrine, watched over by this spirit, has protected people from plague since ancient times. Even during smallpox epidemics, those who prayed here were protected. Today, prayers for this place's people's health quietly reach heaven. I pray you too will visit and maintain healthy body and mind forever.
