Healing Shrine Visit Among the Green Grove and the Ducks in the Pond
About this spot
About a 10-minute walk from Hiratsuka Station, this ancient shrine is wrapped in a lush grove while remaining in the heart of the city. Founded during the era of Emperor Nintoku, this historic shrine has ducks and geese swimming leisurely in its pond—beloved by children. The shaded approach path remains cool even in the height of summer, quietly preparing you for the energetic fireworks day ahead.
