Kushida Shrine (櫛田神社)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This old shrine in the Kushida district of Imizu City has calm grounds where trees line both sides of the approach. On a summer morning the air changes the moment you step into the shade, and it settles the mood for the day ahead. Simply following the sequence with your children, purifying your hands at the water basin and then offering a prayer at the hall, is a time full of things to learn. It is not a place crowded with tourists, so you can walk slowly at your own pace. Since the Jabujabu Pond opens at 10:00, the plan is to spend time here first before heading over.

Tips

The grounds have gravel and stone steps, so comfortable walking shoes are reassuring. Reception hours at the shrine office vary by day, so check in advance if you would like a goshuin seal stamp. Telling children beforehand not to run around keeps things smooth. Follow the local signage for parking locations.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Early morning, when the air is clear, is recommended.
