History

Suwa Shrine at Yuzawa has watched over harsh winters and joyful springs for ages. Suwa's deity, god of wind and water, protects from nature's fury. The power of the mountains infuses this place with protective strength. Those who pray here find confidence to face winter's challenges. Divine presence embraces all who seek shelter here.
