#1 of 202 in Historic Sites in Ibaraki Prefecture
Religious Site Tourist Spot Must See
Surrounded by an ancient cedar forest, Kashima Jingu, is dedicated to a local patron deity of martial arts. In the 16th century, one of Japan's major sword masters frequently visited this site, eventually establishing a martial arts school named after this shrine . As you take a peaceful stroll through the complex, look for reflecting ponds and stone lanterns, just two examples of the temple's notable outdoor features. Plan my day in Kashima using traveler tips and tourist information provided by Inspirock.
