Better pray to kanako-sama!

Kanako-sama...visiting the four shrines of Suwa Taisha has been one of the most unforgettable experiences of my whole life. It's wonderful to see how many people have been inspired to come to visit this beatiful place by you. All of Suwa feels alive, with roots that are deep and wide. Suwa has anything but "passed into fantasy". I have been awestruck by the natural beaty of the land, the taste of the food and the hospitality of the people. I will forever treasure these experiences and these newfound connections, and the shinpu of Suwa Taisha will allow me to do so. I will take it to a good and caring home. Thank you for inspiring me to come here and experience this all, Kanako-sama.
