History

A rare shrine enshrining the serpent deity. The snake, through shedding its skin, symbolizes rebirth and is believed to guard wealth and fortune. Long revered in Tomioka, this shrine strips away the misfortune of visitors and brings them new fortune. Like the serpent, I too watch through eternity.
