Pray for a safe trip at an ancient shrine in Kumihama
About this spot
Kandani Tachinomiya Shrine (神谷太刀宮神社), enshrined in Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City (京丹後市久美浜町), is one of the shrines listed in ancient records with a long history even within the Tango (丹後) region. The lush green precincts are wrapped in quiet, and the atmosphere stays cool and comfortable even on a summer morning. It is a fitting place for the whole family to pray for a safe day before heading out for sea bathing. From the bearing of the shrine buildings rooted in the community, you can sense the history and natural richness of Kumihama (久美浜). Once you have finished praying, head next to Kabutoyama Park (兜山公園), which overlooks Kumihama Bay (久美浜湾).
