History
Kouryuu Jinja is a spiritually efficacious shrine dedicated to the Dragon Kami, situated in the mountains of Yomogihira in Nagaoka. The dragon, revered since ancient times as a deity governing water, has long attracted the fervent faith of those praying for rain and the blessings of water. Located near the Yomogihira hot spring resort, the shrine continues to bestow healing and vitality upon all who visit, alongside the bounties of the hot springs. It is truly a sacred site worthy of being called a power spot, where the spiritual essence of the mountains and the divine power of the Dragon Kami converge.
