History
The Ichigen-nushi Sha that I visited, as its name suggests, enshrines a deity said to grant wishes with just a single word. It is said to bring benefits for the fulfillment of wishes, warding off evil and good fortune, and business prosperity, and many people visit. The quiet and serene precincts are filled with refreshing air. Since ancient times, it has had a history of listening to people's earnest wishes and granting them. It is a place where one wishes to experience the mystical power that grants wishes with just a single word.
