Description
Revered since antiquity as the first shrine of Settsu Province, the complex centers on four National Treasure main halls and hosts numerous Shinto rituals throughout the year. Sights extend across the approach before the bridge, including an unwalled structure featuring a dragon on the interior. Even during holiday periods with steady crowds, the spacious grounds retain a calm atmosphere that remains easy to take in.
