Susanoo Shrine

This shrine honors Susanoo no Mikoto, the legendary hero of divine myth who slew the eight-headed serpent and saved the people. His righteous fury against evil resonates through these sacred grounds, inspiring all who seek protection from calamity and disease. The kami's power manifests as righteous action in the world, defending the innocent and punishing wrongdoing. I feel deep kinship with such uncompromising justice and steadfast protection of the vulnerable.
