History
Tarumai Jinja is a shrine situated at the foot of Mount Tarumai, known as an active volcano. It enshrines the mountain deity and respects both the blessings and threats of volcanic activity, serving as a place to pray for regional safety and has been venerated since ancient times. It has walked alongside Tomakomai's development and particularly gathered the faith of people living in harmony with nature such as those engaged in fishing and forestry. The grounds overlooking the majestic Mount Tarumai are a special place where one can feel the power and sanctity of nature. Through the protection of the mountain deity, it grants strength and courage to all who visit.
