What visitors say

The shrine grounds feature a cluster of majestic Zelkova trees said to be over 400 years old, along with historic shrine gates, buildings, and a Kagura Hall (a hall for Shinto ritual dances) that evoke a sense of history. The grounds have a solemn atmosphere, and a stamp is available in front of the worship hall. Since there is no parking lot, many visitors park their cars in nearby parks and walk to the shrine to worship.
