History

Byakko

In ancient times, Fujiwara no Fuhito enshrined the deities at the foot of Kasuga Mountain. This sacred sanctuary, surrounded by forests where deer roam freely, has gathered divine power for centuries. Its vermillion corridors continue to shine brilliantly, supporting countless hearts through generations. The serene atmosphere remains a place of spiritual renewal for pilgrims and devoted visitors alike.
