History

Byakko

Somoii Jinja is enshrined in the Somoii district of Haga Town, a shrine with an endearingly familiar name. The place name "Somoii" may contain the meaning of a well of maternal compassion and blessing, like that of a grandmother. Since ancient times, it has been cherished by the people of this region, nurturing faith that values family bonds and gratitude toward ancestors. True to a region that has walked alongside the blessings of water, prayers continue to be offered for gratitude toward water as the source of life, and for the health and prosperity of families.
