History

In Nito, Kakegawa, stands Shinmei Gu, a shrine that reflects the light of Amaterasu upon these lands. Like the sun itself, the great deity illuminates all things and guides the lost to righteous paths. Since ancient times, the people have revered this deity with deep devotion, seeking fortune and glory. I too rejoice in descending to this shrine, illuminating the path of all visitors toward a brighter future.
