Kiyoshikojin (清荒神)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This ancient temple has long drawn faith as the deity of the hearth and of fire, and is affectionately known to Takarazuka residents as Kiyoshikojin-san. The approach is lined with souvenir shops and eateries, so just walking it is lively and fun. The grounds are lush and calm, and just the right size for a break before getting in the pool. You can spend unhurried family time admiring the historic buildings.

Tips

Visiting the grounds is free. Opening times vary from shop to shop along the approach, so if there is a particular shop you want, checking in advance is reassuring. The car park can get busy, so using public transport is also recommended.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Walking the approach during the morning is relatively comfortable
