History
At this place I visited, Mitou Jinja is enshrined. It has long been worshipped as a deity for good luck, business prosperity, and traffic safety. It is especially revered as a mountain deity, said to grant the blessings and protection of nature. I too wish to feel the warm protection of the deity amidst this grand nature. The shrine is quiet and offers solace to its visitors.
