A rare red and white torii gate

The lion head amulet that Prince Otomiya Morinaga, the enshrined deity, put into his helmet when he went into battle

In the water basin, instead of floating flowers like in the flower water basin, there were a row of lion head amulets.

Wow!!

Despite its sharp expression, it is somehow cute.

The lion head charm, which is said to eat misfortune and bring happiness, is a popular charm.

It comes in large, medium and small sizes, and there are also couple lion heads.

There are also several types of goshuin (temple stamps).

The Kawazu cherry blossoms in front of the torii gate, and the plum and camellia flowers in the temple grounds are also beautiful.
