What visitors say
This shrine exudes a dignified and tranquil atmosphere. In winter, visitors can worship amidst snowy scenery, though caution is advised regarding icy slopes leading to the parking lot. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available, and festivals such as the June 'Chinowa-kuguri' (passing through a ring of rush grass) are held. Due to limited parking nearby, it is convenient to use facilities in the surrounding area.
