History
Enshrined as a subsidiary shrine of Matsuo Taisha, this sanctuary honors the three sister goddesses of Munakata. These divine protectors safeguard women's hearts and bless families with harmony and safe childbirth. Embraced by the verdant beauty of Arashiyama, they continue to answer the prayers of devotees.
