About this place
The deity guards the clear water that rises among rocks. The shrine originally stood in Ujitachi, where the old place name Iwaida still echoes its own. It now shares a single building with Tsunaga-jinja and Niikawa-jinja, and seven of the 125 shrines stand together here, four minutes' walk from the Uji bridge.
