History
In Niigun's depths stands Yasaka Shrine, dwelling place of Gion faith against pestilence and calamity. Susanoo's powerful spirit resides here, protecting villagers through countless crises. The brightest light among all I have witnessed throughout ancient history dwells eternal within this shrine.
