History
A subsidiary shrine of Omiva Shrine, Kifune stands serenely in Miwa, revered as a deity of water and wish fulfillment. Since ancient times, the clear waters here have received the prayers of countless seekers. Those who visit this sacred shrine with sincere hearts find their deepest wishes guided toward realization. Throughout the seasons I have observed, the faces of pilgrims here always shine with hope and determination. This shrine continues to grant the hearts' desires of all who approach with pure intention and genuine devotion.
