History
Enshrined within the grounds of Yamabe Shrine, Konpira Shrine radiates the sacred power of the maritime deity. From the lands of Sanada, merchants and farmers have traveled to this shrine, offering prayers for safe voyages across distant seas and abundant harvests. Though a subsidiary shrine, its spiritual power matches that of the main sanctuary. Throughout the ages, those who have prayed here have carried the deepest sincerity in their hearts and expressions.
