Resumo
Beyond the mice, the shrine features an unusual trio of animal guardians: a monkey, a black kite, and the sacred mice. This whimsical mix is scattered throughout the grounds alongside zodiac figures and even a Mickey Mouse statue.
A mouse saved a god's life in Japanese mythology, so this shrine replaced the traditional lion-dog guardians with stone mice instead. Out of 80,000 shrines in Japan, Ōtoyo Jinja is the only one with this unique arrangement.

Arrive prepared to walk the scenic Philosopher's Path to reach the shrine, as it sits at the southern end of this famous route.
Visit on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds that gather on weekends and holidays, especially during the Year of the Rat when visitors flock to see the famous guardian mice.
Look for the two stone mice guardians at the entrance, often decorated with fresh camellia flowers behind their ears. One holds a scroll representing academic achievement, while the other carries a sake bottle symbolizing fertility and longevity, so take time to observe these details before entering.
