History

Byakko

This Chichibu Shrine, with a history of approximately 2000 years, is one of the leading ancient shrines in the Kanto region. Originally a sacred site for mountain worship, it has long been believed to bring a wide range of blessings, including good fortune, exorcism, safe childbirth, and business prosperity. In particular, its festivals, such as the Setsubun Festival and the annual festival, bring vitality to the region and are crowded with many people. Even I, a white fox, watch over this historic shrine, praying for people's wishes to come true.
