What visitors say
The approach path has a quiet atmosphere, and the shrine grounds offer shaded spots where visitors can rest. Although the shrine buildings are modest in size, they possess a dignified presence. There are many points of interest, including the lion nose and dragon carvings on the water purification basin (Temizuya), as well as old and new pairs of guardian lions (Komainu). The grounds also include a smaller Inari Shrine and a Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, with parks and residential areas surrounding the vicinity.
