History
This shrine in Yao's Onji district preserves the ancient faith in dragon deities. The Eight Dragon Kings possess power over rainfall, water conservation, and agricultural growth. The pure waters flowing through the district's channels are gifts of the Dragon King's compassion. Whether in drought or deluge, these benevolent deities guide and protect the land and its people.
