History
Divine response means to answer the call of the sacred. This temple resting on Yawata's ancient soil brings forth pure power as a response to people's prayers. The white fox has witnessed how visitors' hearts are always lightened upon coming here. Dispelling malevolence and filling hearts with hopeful light, such sacred exchanges continue to occur here each day, bridging the mortal and divine realms.
