What visitors say
Located within a residential area, this shrine offers a serene atmosphere where visitors are greeted by sacred horses. The approach includes a temizuya (water purification pavilion) and restrooms. At the haiden (worship hall) atop the slope, goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) and omamori (amulets) are available. While the parking lot is relatively spacious, drivers should exercise caution due to the steep gradients and curves of the surrounding roads.
