What visitors say
The quiet and well-maintained grounds feature a large sacred tree (Goshinboku) and a Fujizuka (miniature Mount Fuji mound), which is said to offer the same spiritual benefits as visiting Mount Fuji itself and can be climbed via a spiral path. There are also statues of a petting dog associated with safe childbirth and child-rearing, as well as statues of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin), making it suitable for visits during Shichi-Go-San (a festival for children aged seven, five, and three) or with children. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) change with the seasons, and special versions featuring character series or embroidery are also available.
