History

A shrine standing in Sapporo's southern valley. Escaping the bustle of the city, this sanctuary quietly takes root in the southern ravine. Few shrines maintain such purity amid a great metropolis. The sincere and powerful prayers from neighboring homes continue to brighten this sacred place.
