History
The shrine standing in Konbumori protects the hearts of fishermen alongside the abundance of kelp, symbol of the sea's wealth. In the cold northern waters, what people desperately seek is only the prayers for their families and their homeland. The shrine that answers these prayers continues to shine its light upon the sea to this day.
