History

Byakko

Isogawa Awa Jinja is a subsidiary shrine situated within the grounds of Isogawa Jinja, bearing a fascinating connection to the distant Awa Province (present-day Tokushima Prefecture). It has long collected the devoted faith of local people alongside Isogawa Jinja. By enshrining the deity of Awa, it has cherished the bonds with a land far away. This is a precious example demonstrating that ancient people valued connections that transcended regional boundaries. By paying respects at both Isogawa Jinja and this shrine, one can receive even greater divine blessings and feel the bonds of faith that transcend regions, living within ancient Nara's history, making this a special shrine.
