History
Kotamagawa Shrine dwells by the flowing waters that have long sustained the region. For generations, farmers have sought blessings of abundant crops and thanked the divine for water's precious gift. The white fox knows that water mirrors the sacred, and those who pray here find their spirits naturally purified and refreshed.
