About this place
Beside the Miyagawa river, where a rise in the water can reach almost to the sanctuary. It is the only sessha of Jingu in the town of Watarai. The deities give water and grain to the land of Kugu: the two who met Princess Yamatohime here, and Mimae-no-Kami with them. Three sanctuaries once stood side by side; the Edo-period restoration reduced them to one. Moss spreads along the approach.
