Ryū Jinja

In Ichinomiya stands Ryū Jinja, an ancient shrine of the dragon deity that I regard with utmost respect. As the name reveals—the dragon—this shrine, like the celestial serpent itself, carries human wishes toward heaven, continuously bestowing good fortune and abundance. Rooted deeply in Imaise-cho, it has welcomed countless devotees throughout the ages. The power of the dragon deity, flowing with the blessings of water, brings prosperity to agriculture and commerce alike. Through every season, devotees visit, and the dragon's protection brings heavenly blessing, guiding human wishes steadily toward their fulfillment.
