History
Sarutahiko Shrine, dedicated in the Yamanouchi district of Ukyo-ku, has been revered since ancient times as a guide for opening paths and protecting travelers. The power I perceive from this sacred place guides those lost in confusion toward the right path, bringing light to their hearts. Even today, many travelers offer prayers here as they embark on new journeys.
