History
I enshrine Amaterasu Omikami, watching over these mountains of Kusatsu, pouring the light of the sun goddess upon these lands. Since ancient times, I have been a sanctuary for prayers seeking imperial protection and national prosperity. Where the blessings of hot springs merge with divine grace, pilgrims seek purification and renewal, where ancient history and new hope coexist eternally.
