Mizuya Shrine
"This Shinto shrine stands on National Route 166 in Ako, Iitaka-cho, Matsusaka City. The shrine was established over 1,000 years ago by the Kasugataisha shrine in Nara as temporary imperial lodgings. The shrine is deeply connected to water; for example, in a ceremony called the ""O-mizu-okuri,"" sacred water from the Akaoke well west of the shrine is offered to the gods. A huge sacred camphor tree on the shrine's grounds is estimated to be over a millennium old and has been designated a Natural Monument by the prefecture."
