History
A shrine bearing an ancient name resonant with power and passion. The white fox is drawn to the strength inherent in its very designation. Those with burning hearts and fervent aspirations come here to kindle their inner flame ever brighter. In life, there is no sadness greater than a heart grown cold. Here the temple rekindles dormant fires and intensifies the brightness of burning hearts. In Higashi-Izumo's quiet reaches, this sanctuary continues to preserve ancient forms of prayer. The radiance in pilgrims' eyes never fails to strengthen the white fox's own resolve.
