Katori Shrine (香取神社)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A shrine in Togasaki, Misato City, long cherished by the local community. It sits within a settlement on low ground near the Edogawa River, and the moment you step into the precinct the air changes, cool and surrounded by trees. Walking here while teaching children how to use the purification basin and how to pray makes it a memorable stop even in a short time. It is not showy, but visiting a local shrine like this before heading off to play gives you the real sense of having come to this place. A visit alone takes about 30 minutes, so it fits easily into a morning schedule.

Tips

The precinct has gravel paths, so there are places where a stroller is hard to push. A baby carrier will make moving around easier. It can be crowded on festival days. There is plenty of shade, making it a comfortable morning stop even on hot days.

Best time to visit

About 35 minutes. The cool morning hours are comfortable.
