1. Introduction of Kifune Shrine
Kifune Shrine is located alongside the clear Kibune River. The shrine is dedicated to a deity of water.
In ancient times, Imperial Courts sent out imperial messengers to pray for the deity of water to stop rainfall and/or to bring rainfall.
Legend has it that the name of the small town "Kibune (or Kifune)" means "the source of life force" or "Yellow boat".
Divine virtues include “Fortune”, “Matchmaking”, and “Safety voyage”.
