History

Byakko

As the sanctuary of the Dragon King guarding Seta Bridge, this shrine naturally governs the harmony of water's flow and human passage. Since ancient times, travelers crossing this important passage have sought the Dragon King's protection. With the spirit of Hidesato the bridge keeper also enshrined here, this sanctuary holds dual spiritual power. The weight of history is palpable with each crossing.
