What visitors say
In early May, iris flowers bloom on the Mizuara Pond, where the Magatsu-bashi bridge is located, creating a beautiful contrast with the fresh greenery. The grounds feature a small island shaped like a turtle and numerous Komainu (lion-dog statues). The road to the parking lot is somewhat narrow, but it is a serene shrine where you can enjoy the changing scenery of the four seasons, such as autumn leaves.
