History
Gisa Jinja, enshrined in Maisaka, Hamamatsu, has protected the fisheries of Lake Hamana and the town of Maisaka since ancient times. Fishermen and merchants held deep faith and came to pray for safe voyages and prosperous trade. Though the lake's waves and the flow of time change, the unchanging divine protection continues unabated. In the land of Maisaka, many continue to gather seeking family safety and safe passage.
