About this Shrine

Located on the banks of the Dojima River, it has been an important cultural center for over 700 years. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design with a combination of tiled roofs and wooden structures. Its significance lies in its association with the legendary river spirit who protected the city from flooding.
