History

Located in Fukui's Terute, this Hachiman shrine has been a light in the hearts of port dwellers. Protected by the mighty deity Hachiman, countless sailors have returned safely to harbor and merchants have prospered in their trade. Though weathered by sea winds, this shrine's faith remains unwavering, passed faithfully through generations. As long as the harbor remains, this Hachiman shrine will eternally watch over merchants and sailors alike.
