History
This shrine, blending into Onomichi's historic streetscape, has protected the community since ancient times, true to its name meaning 'mountain side.' Immersed in history's current, it has always been a spiritual support for local people. I have dwelt here for countless years, receiving the prayers of many pilgrims. Regardless of how time changes, this shrine's light shines unwavering, forever protecting and guiding all in its care.
