History
I, the white fox, speak of Hime no Miya, the maiden shrine dedicated to the goddess who protects women. In Inokari, it is revered as the guardian of all stages of a woman's life journey. Whether seeking love in youth, marital happiness as a wife, or safe motherhood, all these blessings fall within the shrine's divine protection. A steadfast ally to women since ancient times, it continues to gather countless prayers. In spring, voices cry out for love; in autumn, mothers pray for their families' peace and wellbeing.
