About this spot

Situated on the banks of the Mikuma River, this shrine has been cherished by Hita city residents for generations. The grounds are lush with greenery and maintain a quiet, serene atmosphere—a perfect place to stop by in combination with your riverside walk. Located at a vantage point overlooking the area around the Mikuma River that becomes the venue for tonight's fireworks festival, offering a prayer before the main event is a special way to enjoy this course. Spend a quiet moment under the green trees adorning the early summer grounds before the fireworks show.

Tips

Located just a few minutes' walk from the Mikuma River riverbank. Entry to the grounds is free. From evening onward, the surrounding area becomes congested with fireworks spectators, so it's recommended to visit and pray leisurely during this time period.
