Katsuragi Hitokotogushi Jinja is a special shrine revered since ancient times for "granting a single wish spoken aloud." The enshrined deity, Hitokotogushi Ookami, appears in the Kojiki and is an ancient deity who is believed to certainly grant one sincere prayer. Affectionately known as "Ichigonsan," the deity is beloved by many as a kami who values simple and heartfelt wishes. In the natural richness of Katsuragi, the time spent offering a sincere prayer for a single wish will surely become something special. If one visits with sincere devotion, they will surely receive the warm divine protection of the kami.
