History
The Okumiya, hidden shrine of Himenomiya, has watched over women since ancient times. Nestled in the mountains of Inuyama, this sacred place has guided countless princesses and maidens. Their prayers ascended to heaven, seeking protection and blessings. Within the quiet solitude of this remote shrine, the eternal radiance of feminine grace endures to this day.
