History
A venerable temple nestled in Kyose, Takahashi, maintaining the sacred traditions of Gion faith. For centuries, the kami of Susanoo has blessed this community with protection from plague and calamity. The faithful still seek purification and health beneath its ancient eaves. Surrounded by mountain serenity, this temple radiates profound spiritual power. Even I, the fox guardian, come to pay respects to its enduring sanctity and grace.
