History
An ancient temple breathes life in the quiet town of Shimonitta. Since the days when sacred kagura dances graced this place, it has continued to protect the people of this land. Through the long ages I have watched, despite the many joys and sorrows that have fallen upon it, the dignified temple hall never wavered. Upon your pilgrimage here, your heart too shall be purified. The power transmitted since ancient times still dwells in this sacred place.
