What visitors say

This shrine sits quietly atop a small hill within a residential neighborhood. During cherry blossom season, magnificent sakura bloom, and at the top of the stone steps, there is a torii gate and shrine buildings that evoke a sense of history. The dedication of the lion dance takes place on the third Sunday of August. It has also been noted that due to changes in the surrounding environment, the approach path may sometimes be difficult to find.
