What visitors say
Located on a hilltop, the shrine grounds offer beautiful views of the surroundings and feature attractive flower-adorned water purification basins (chozuya). There is a parking lot next to the shrine; although it is some distance from the torii gate at the bottom of the slope, access by car is possible. A wide variety of Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available and can be obtained at the shrine office. In addition to omamori (amulets) and Goshuin, a diverse selection of omikuji (fortune slips) is also provided.
