Shrine has everything about Japanese spirits.

Details, materials and setting has hermony with nature.


This statue said emperor's visiting place.


Today, we can go closer to shrine stage, always offering foods, vegies and rice wine (Sake) on the stage.


Rice cakes (Mochi) has offered to gods of shrine. Handmade by local people.
