    This was special for us because one of our friends is from Awaji and all three of her children had received blessings here. It wasn't too crowded and easy to access. Another amazing shrine.  more »

    For people interested in Japanese mythology, this is a must-see. It's a small shrine, doesn't take long to see, and there's a good atmosphere. It's a 30m drive from the highway, but it's a pleasant drive. Of you want to start your stamp collection there, their booklet is beautiful.
