Kappa's Hometown
A hungry Kappa still watches over the town today. Shiroma Town in Miyagi Prefecture is the home of Kappa legends. The Isora Shrine within the town is known as "Okappa-sama," and it is said to be the only shrine in the country that enshrines a wood-carved Kappa as its deity. Founded in the 22nd year of the Enryaku era, it has long been a center of faith for local people as a deity for protection against water accidents, matchmaking, and safe childbirth. Unique legends also remain, such as an anecdote about a Kappa falling in love at first sight with a princess. With this Kappa as the town's symbol, Shiroma Town welcomes tourists with Kappa-themed souvenirs and local gourmet food. Please visit us to encounter these unique legends.
