Wakamiya Shrine
〒899-6507 鹿児島県霧島市牧園町宿窪田３９８６
This shrine enshrines the deified spirit of Wakaki Yasumaro, whose divine title is Goo Dai Myojin. The grounds are notable for their wisteria garden, statues of boars regarded as guardian spirits, and white boars kept on the premises.
History
It was confirmed that this site was where Wakaki Yasumaro was exiled. A petition to establish Wakamiya Shrine was submitted in 1939 CE (Showa 14). Permission to establish it as a prefectural shrine was granted in 1942 CE (Showa 17), and the enshrinement ceremony took place in 1946 CE (Showa 21).

What visitors say
The grounds feature 23 varieties of wisteria, with the vast purple canopy being particularly breathtaking. While parking is free, the area becomes crowded during the wisteria season, which can lead to traffic guidance delays and queues for restrooms. Other highlights include Japan's largest ema (wooden votive plaque) and the nearby scenic Inukai Waterfall.
