What visitors say
Located in a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the shrine grounds feature scattered stone statues of owls. A highlight of the annual grand festival (Reidaisai) is the procession of a large main shrine mikoshi (portable shrine) through the streets. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are available at the administrative office for an initial offering (Hatsuhōryō) of 500 yen.
