History
North Soka Hikawa Jinja honors Susanoo no Mikoto, deity of water's flowing nature. This location once served as a vital hub of water commerce. The white fox recognizes the allure of flowing rivers; merchants too sought blessings for commerce as smooth and bountiful as water's course. All who visit pray for their endeavors to flow like rivers, unobstructed and abundant.
