At a Glance
Located directly beside the Toden Arakawa tram line, this shrine has welcomed visitors at Miyanomae Station since the Nanboku-chō period (1336-1392), making it over 600 years old.
The shrine shares its neighborhood with Dairin-in Temple, reflecting the historical practice of shinbutsu-shūgō (神仏習合), where Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples coexisted harmoniously.
Visitors often report experiencing sudden gusts of wind at the torii gates and at the subsidiary Itsukushima Shrine, which locals interpret as the kami welcoming worshippers.
