History

The lower sanctuary of Kosuge Shrine serves the community below, balancing the severity of the mountain shrine above. Together they watch over Iiyama—one demanding spiritual rigor, the other offering gentle comfort. The white fox sees in this pairing the sacred wisdom that both challenge and nurture are needed for a life well-lived.
