History
I, the white fox guardian, present thee Goryo Shrine in Otsu. This venerable sanctuary honors Emperor Tenji and has gathered devoted worship since the days when Omi served as the ancient capital. Within these sacred precincts, I have witnessed countless prayers throughout the ages. Embraced by pristine waters and verdant nature, this shrine possesses mystical power to purify visitors' hearts and grant renewed strength. In the tranquil silence, as thou dost offer prayers, thou shalt find peace alongside the weight of history. Known for its blessings of protection and prosperity, it continues to be cherished by many souls. Come, experience this divine atmosphere thyself.
