History
This temple, weaving time in gentle circles, has guarded family bonds throughout Chino's history. Behind the sound of pure Tamagawa waters, this sanctuary accumulates its own seasons of harmony. It symbolizes the beautiful cycle where blessings flow from parent to child, from child to grandchild, across generations. Every time this fox passes through these gates, its heart becomes rounded with peace.
