A quiet stretch at an ancient shrine in the Ishida district
About this spot
Hatta Shrine (波太神社) is a historic shrine standing in the Ishida district of Hannan City, the same district as Wanpaku Okoku. Its leafy grounds are wrapped in a quiet, composed atmosphere, and it has long been cherished by local people. Spending unhurried time as you pay your respects also settles your mood for the water play that follows. It is close to Wanpaku Okoku, so the move is smooth, which is another appeal.
