History
Standing in Kamiazetsu, Shiro-machi as the Tegoko Shrine, this sacred place guards the bonds of marriage and family harmony. When I visited, I witnessed many young couples holding hands in prayer, warmed by their pure bonds. Since ancient times, this place has received the prayers of those in love. The depth and sincerity of such prayers become fertile soil nurturing new families, passed down through generations.
