History

Byakko

Situated by the reedy banks of a river in Kamiawa, Iga, this shrine has long been revered as protector of water and its blessings. Farmers pray for stable irrigation waters to nurture their crops, while fishermen seek the river's abundance. The prayers of countless generations seeking both flood protection and sufficient water for the fields echo through this sacred place. As a holy site protecting water—the very source of life—it continues to shine brightly.
