History
The Konpira Shrine enshrined at Toyomine faces the Japan Sea, receiving the devotion of those whose lives depend on its waters. Listening to the sound of the waves, it continues to pray for the safety and bountiful catches of fishermen. Standing in the harsh nature north of Tomakomai, even the fierce waves become gentle hands embracing people. Ancient wishes live in the sea itself.
