This is a shrine located in the grounds of Shiramine Shrine that enshrines the dragon god. The enshrined deity is "Senryu Okami (Dragon God)." In 1955, a shrine was built to enshrine Senryu Okami as the water god (Senryu Okami) due to an anecdote that he appeared in the flames of Shiramine Shrine and put out the fire. The Senryu Ko Festival is held every year on November 23rd. The cute chozuya (purification fountain) of the dragon god is the landmark.
