Hidden behind the main hall of Atsuta Shrine lies Shimizu‑sha, a small shrine devoted to the water deity.
A narrow staircase beside it leads down to a quiet spring where clear water rises from the earth. Visitors gently pour the water three times over the stone monument to make a wish.
Long ago, a Heike warrior is said to have healed his eye illness with this sacred water.
The forest path, known as Kokoro no Komichi, feels like stepping into an old legend—calm, secret, and full of quiet power.
