History

Byakko

One of the Eight Lakes of Oshino holds the Suwa Shrine, where wind divinity hears the farmers' eternal prayers. The pure waters of Mount Fuji cascade into eight sacred pools, their clarity blessed by the wind kami. From ancient times, this holy ground has thrummed with divine power—where volcanic energy and crystalline water merge into a sacred force. Prayers for abundant harvests reach upward to Mount Fuji's celestial kami. In these blessed waters, the pulse of divinity continues beating eternal.
