Mikajiri Hachiman Jinja is a valiant shrine that has been enshrined in the Kumagaya region since ancient times. Although the year of its founding is unknown, it has been revered as the guardian deity of the local people and as a deity of enduring military fortune. The precincts are filled with a powerful presence, invigorating visitors. White foxes like myself are sometimes drawn to the majestic atmosphere of this shrine.
