About this spot

This venerable shrine has grown alongside Kamo City's history. Amid the lush grounds, an old shrine hall stands quietly, offering a calm escape from the town's bustle. Cherished by locals as a shrine that has watched over the town, it's also a fitting place for a family to pray for a safe day before looking up at the fireworks that evening.

Tips

About a 15-minute walk from in front of Kamo Station. The grounds are mostly paved and easy to walk, but the shade can bring out some insects, so insect repellent is reassuring to have.
