History

An ancient shrine dedicated to the goddess of water, known as Niukawa Kami Shrine. Nestled in the deep mountains of Yoshino, it governs the flow of waters and protects the livelihoods of farmers. Where waterfalls roar and pristine waters flow, humans and nature exist in perfect harmony under divine blessing.
