Kumano Okatereru Jinja

Kumano Okatereru Jinja is known as a shrine that has received the divided spirit of the three Kumano shrines. Kumano faith has long been cherished as a belief in purification and rebirth, and many people have visited seeking to cleanse both body and spirit. As the shrine name "Okatereru" suggests, this is a mystical shrine where one can feel the gentle light of the deity shining quietly from deep within the forest. For the people of Hirosaki, it is a special place where one can find peace of mind.
