History
The faith in Konpira extends far from its Sanuki origin to this distant outpost in Izumo, where merchants have long sought the deity's protection. The white fox has observed countless traders offering prayers here while their hearts reach toward the distant parent shrine. Though a branch sanctuary, its spiritual power is undiminished. Human devotion transcends all distance, and Konpira's blessing watches over even these far reaches of the Izumo seas.
