History
The Tarobo Shrine Branch in Okowa serves as a distant worshipping site for the main temple, maintaining its spiritual power despite the physical separation. Though far from the original shrine, this location carries forward the divine influence of the deity, blessing those who seek prosperity in business and protection from misfortune. Through prayer directed toward the main shrine, pilgrims here find their wishes carried on spiritual currents to reach the heavens above.
