History
Asama Jinja enshrines Asama Okami, the god of fire, and is known for its benefits of prayer for safe childbirth, protection from fire, and matchmaking. I quietly wish in this sacred place for new life to be born healthy, for people to be protected from disaster, and for them to be blessed with good relationships. This shrine is a beacon of hope, especially for those wishing for children and those embarking on new beginnings. The power of this deity is truly connected to the mystery of life.
