Long ago, a man who lived in this area helped a Kappa that had lost its habitat in a flood, and in return, the kappa taught him a miracle medicine.
This is a shrine dedicated to this Kappa, and it is said that if you visit, your wishes will come true.

# Kappa are legendary creatures in Japan.
# In Komagane City, where the kappa legend remains, a character designed like a kappa called "Koma Kappa" is the city's PR mascot.
