文化的背景
This shrine is dedicated to three principal kami: Yamato no Okami, Susanoo no Mikoto, and Inazuma-tenno. It is also famous for its beautiful vermilion torii gate, which was built in 1612. During the spring festival (Matsuri), visitors can witness a ritual dance performed by shrine staff to honor the kami.
