It has a solemn atmosphere and various attractions.
There is a short walk along the approach (the same length as the battleship Yamato), but there are no stairs, so even those with poor legs can reach the main shrine.
If you drive from...

Obitoke-dera
Buddhist temple
👍 Praying for safe childbirth on the Sunday before the dog.
The road width was very narrow to drive to the private parking lot nearby, and it was difficult to leave. I think you can park in front of the station and walk when it's not hot. It didn't seem that far.
It was a small temple, but there was...

Imanishi House
Historical landmark
👍👍 One of the reasons why the old townscape of Imai-cho has survived to future generations is that the Imanishi family played a central role in enforcing rules in the town to prevent large-scale fires and incidents. It is no exaggeration to say that it was possible to preserve it by serving as a direc...
