History
This shrine that I know of is Numa-jinja, located within the precincts of Shirone-jinja. It stands quietly in Kusatsu and gathers the faith of the local people. It is said to bring blessings of good fortune and good health, and many people visit to pray for luck and health. Combined with the solemn atmosphere of Shirone-jinja, it creates a mystical space. Offering a quiet prayer in this sacred place will surely give strength to visitors.
