History
This shrine I visited is Koiwai Jinja. It has long been deeply revered as a deity for safe childbirth, child-rearing, and matchmaking. It is a cherished place, imbued with the warm wishes for people's happiness along with the development of the region. I too wish to receive the blessings of this deity and pray for the happiness of all people. The quiet and peaceful shrine grounds offer solace to its visitors.
