About this spot

A venerable Hachiman shrine located in Kashiwa, Minami-Awaji City, known locally for its impressive autumn festival. Surrounded by trees with a peaceful atmosphere, just walking the shrine paths slowly immerses you in local life. The location is convenient for travel from Onokoro Island Shrine, and it's an easy stop before heading to the beach. After worship, grab lunch at a nearby restaurant before heading to the afternoon beach outing.

Tips

Many shade trees in the shrine grounds create a comfortable rest spot even during hot summer afternoons. Have lunch nearby and then head to Keino Matsubara Beach to make the most of your afternoon at the sea.
