History
Minaka Jinja's name points to truth dwelling at the center of all things. Walking the middle way without extremes offers life's most stable path. The deity enshrined here guides lost people toward this balanced path. I have watched hearts settle before this shrine many times. In Gifu's land, this shrine has quietly guided people through the ages—a place of true happiness.
