Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Over 3,000 stone and bronze lanterns line the paths, lighting the way in a magical glow during festivals. Deer roam freely as sacred messengers, blending nature with spirituality throughout the shrine grounds.
Kohokohdat: The lantern festival lights up hundreds of lanterns simultaneously twice a year, creating an enchanting river of light that flickers alongside vermilion torii gates. A quirky tradition lets visitors write wishes on wooden plaques displayed among thousands hanging under the eaves, each carrying hopes and blessings.
