Message from Sam Hodenius

. This more than 800-year-old shrine is tucked away in Jiyūgaoka, surrounded by lush trees and unique statues that add to its charm. A small but peaceful shrine. Here you can find crow motifs as charms and other items for purchase that are called yatagarasu, which is said to have led the Emperor Jimmi when he lost his way.
