History
The gongen deity residing within the waters of Atsukawa hot spring. Since ancient times, gods governing the power of these waters have dwelt in this region's thermal springs. Even this fox has glimpsed their presence within the steam. Pilgrims come to heal fatigue and purify their hearts. Like the natural waters themselves, they are embraced by the deity's warm benevolence.
