About this place
A grove standing like an island in the middle of the rice fields, north of the park with the reclining-dragon plum associated with Sugawara no Michizane. The deity governs the lower reaches of the Miyagawa and the water that feeds the fields. Mori-jinja, a matsusha, shares the site, its deity being that of the sacred tree of this grove. A large camphor tree rises behind the sanctuary.
