Quietly visit a shrine connected to the Katakura family

About this spot

A shrine connected to Shiraishi Castle's lord Katakura family, also known for enshrining Manohime, who is said to be the wife of Katakura Koujuuro. The precincts surrounded by trees maintain tranquility despite being in an urban area, making it a fitting place to calm your mind between castle town walks. A historic shrine with long faith from local people, visiting before the summer festival is a fitting detour for this course.
