Next stop: Conclude the historic walk by exploring the 500 Rakan Stone BuddhasAbout this spot
A shrine affectionately known as 'Okuman-sama,' dedicated to good fortune and matchmaking. The grounds feature many interactive experiences perfect for families: the Zeniarai Benzaiten (money-washing Benzaiten) in the Takara Pond where you can purify coins, a barefoot foot-massage health road, and 'Unshirabe Warinage' (luck-testing ring toss). There's plenty for children to enjoy.
Tips
Bring some small change for the money-washing experience. The barefoot foot-massage health road is surprisingly stimulating, so take it at your own pace and encourage your child to try it gradually.
Best time to visit
Allow 20 to 30 minutes. Early evening offers a more peaceful atmosphere.
