History
A Ryujin Shrine in Yonemachi, Kushiro, where the dragon god rules over sea and river blessings and has long protected its people. The dragon's spirit brings great power from the ocean depths, promising fishing prosperity and maritime safety. Since ancient times, those revering water and dragons have kept this faith alive, passed through generations. With the rivers flowing through Kushiro, the dragon god's protection continues, sustaining all who venture to sea or work with water.
