History

This shrine dedicated to the Dragon King is a sacred place of water where the ruler of dragons is enshrined. In the Yoshimi region of Shimonoseki, farmers have long offered prayers for rain. The Dragon King's power is the mightiest force governing weather and waters. This sanctuary grants the grace of water and agricultural prosperity to all who visit, serving as the lifeblood of the land.
