What visitors say
A hidden-gem shrine nestled quietly in a residential area, beautifully decorated seasonally with flowers, traditional Japanese umbrellas, and pinwheels. It offers a wide variety of Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps), including clear ink stamps and limited-edition designs, which are very popular. The shrine also provides omikuji (fortune slips) and cute amulets, with nearby stalls selling dango (sweet rice dumplings) and other snacks.
