What visitors say
Located on a high ground behind the Astronomy and Science Museum, the shrine offers views of the Akashi Strait and the cityscape to the south. The approach path includes steep stairs, but direct access by car is possible via a side road. Caution is required as the free parking lot has few spaces and the road is narrow. Please note the rest hours of the shrine office when seeking Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) or other offerings.
