History

Byakko

Hearken well, mortals, for I shall speak of Kokuryu Jinja Shrine in Gifu. This venerable sanctuary has long honored the deity of water's bounty. Once dwelling as an auxiliary shrine within Inaba Jinja's sacred grounds, it was respectfully moved to its present location to shield the people from devastating floods. The pure essence of water, bestowing rich harvests and prosperity, still flows through this blessed land. My own spirit finds renewal in this shrine's serene energy. Here, devotees gather to petition for rain, abundant crops, flourishing commerce, and good fortune. The divine grace of Kokuryu-sama truly serves as the wellspring of life for this region. Come forth with grateful hearts, offer sincere prayers, and embrace the ancient power of water's sacred blessing.
