History
This shrine is Komagata Jinja. It has long been deeply revered as a deity for safe childbirth and child-rearing. Many pregnant women and parents visit to pray for healthy deliveries and the growth of their children. I too was looked after by this deity in my childhood. The grounds seem to overflow with the warm feelings of parents for their children. Within the calm and serene atmosphere, one can offer prayers with a peaceful heart.
