History

Byakko

This sacred procession site in Ueda commemorates the divine journeys of Ikushima and Tarashima deities. Here, generations of farmers have offered thanks for earth's abundance and prayed for seasonal blessings. The divine footsteps of these deities seem to echo still through this hallowed ground. This sacred stopping place, guardian of Shinshū's bounty, remains eternally central to all hearts that reverence this land.
