Kawazu cherry trees bloom here in early spring, and visitors can tie pink ribbons (花帯) to the branches, a unique custom that creates an incredibly photogenic combination of sakura and ribbons.
The shrine's founder, Yoshimura Masatsune, received a divine message from Empress Yamato-hime at Ise Shrine to name his teachings "Shinshū" (神習), meaning "learning the ways of the gods."

Expect significant wait times at the授与所 (juyosho/amulet office) for御朱印 (goshuin/shrine stamps) and御守り (omamori/amulets), especially during cherry blossom season when waits can reach 1-2 hours.
The shrine offers beautifully designed limited edition御朱印 (goshuin) that change monthly and seasonally, including special zodiac designs in January and pink cherry blossom-themed versions in February.
The shrine practices traditional Shinto rituals including rare ceremonies like fire-walking (火渡り/hiwatari) and kettle divination (釜鳴り/kamanari), which are uncommon among Japanese shrines.
The shrine is conveniently located just a short walk from the nearest subway station in Sakura-Shinmachi, making it very accessible by public transportation.
