History
Hitomaru Jinja (Kona-machi) enshrines Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, the god of learning, and is said to offer benefits of academic achievement, healthy growth of children, and good fortune. I quietly wish in this quiet shrine that the children who will carry the future grow up healthy and bloom with abundant talent. I especially watch over the prayers of parents wishing for their children's healthy growth to reach this deity. The power dwelling in this shrine is truly hope for the next generation.
