History
This inner shrine bearing the name of gold stands deep within the Minamisaku mountains, guarding the eternal source of abundance and prosperity. Those seeking financial fortune climb the long mountain path to reach this sacred place and offer their prayers. During cherry blossom season, petals shimmer like gold along the approach, stirring the hearts of pilgrims. Precisely because this shrine remains hidden in the mountain depths, the deities bestow especially profound blessings upon those who seek with sincerity.
