History

Himekame-jinja that I know dwells in ancient Inuyama. True to its name, it has gathered faith as a protector of women and children for centuries. Women seeking fertility have brought their prayers here, lifting their hearts in hope. The warm protection of the deity watching over birth continues even now.
