History
As the Asakura Shrine, it has been enshrined long ago in the Uji district, gathering faith from the local people. The sight of people praying at the roots of a great zelkova tree in the early morning never ceases, and like the tree itself, the wish for families to take root and prosper is always held here. A sacred place symbolizing the connection between nature and humanity.
