History

Byakko

Gozaishi Jinja is a mystical shrine surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery along the shores of Lake Towada. The deity of the lake is enshrined here, and since ancient times has bestowed upon the people of this region the blessings of water and the power of nature. Standing on the shores of the mystical Lake Towada, this shrine is particularly known for its benefits in harmonizing with nature and purifying the spirit. Viewing the beautiful lake surface during worship calms the mind and grants the strength to move forward with renewed resolve. While many visit as tourists, it is hoped that all will pay their respects with sacred intention.
