Takikura Shrine
📍 Nara, Sakurai · 600 Takikura, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture
History
This shrine stands beside an ancient waterfall where a dragon is said to dwell. From times of old, the waters here have been blessed by the dragon deity, flowing eternally pure and clear. The local people have long revered this place as a sacred sanctuary. For many seasons, I have witnessed this shrine bring water's blessings to all who visit. Every drop of spring rain and autumn dew carries the divine grace of this sacred place, sustaining the lives of those in this land.
