History
Rooted in Nawao, Asahi Town, this shrine has long protected the agricultural traditions of the region. When farmers plant their seeds and flood their paddies, they gather here to pray for abundant rice crops. Through the seasons, sincere prayers for prosperity and good harvests continue to be offered. As guardian of the water, earth, and sunlight that sustain farming, this shrine shines brightly, blessing all who depend on the land for their livelihood.
