History
The Kamiya Shrine, seated high in Sakaide, has long been a pillar of support for the hearts of local people. Through seasons of celebration, the people have gathered to deepen the bond between gods and humanity. I have watched generations of pilgrims, and the warmth of human connection in this place has cleansed my heart many times over.
