History

The Kotohira Shrine in Furuppun is a beacon of hope for those who live by the northern sea. Fishermen, carrying their nets and facing the ocean with their lives at stake, visit quietly each morning to pray for safe return. Countless lives and expressions of gratitude are deeply etched upon this humble shrine.
