History
Sakuraki Shrine stands deep within Yoshino's forests, dwelling together with the spirits of the trees. Surrounded by the celebrated cherry blossoms, this shrine symbolizes the connection between mountain's bounty and human gratitude. Each time the white fox visits, the breathing of trees and the shrine's heartbeat feel as one.
