History
Hime Jinja, dwelling where the ancient shrine once stood, has long walked beside women throughout their lives. The countless mothers I have watched brought forth new life blessed by this shrine's profound grace. The power that protects women's strength and tenderness is this sanctuary's eternal vow.
