Visit the Three Eastern Shrines: Kashima Shrine, Katori Shrine, and Ikusu Shrine

The vermilion-lacquered tower gate, said to be one of Japan's three greatest tower gates, is one of Japan's most beautiful.
Several shrine buildings, including the vibrantly colored main hall, are designated Important Cultural Properties by the national government.

The inner shrine was dedicated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Beyond the Okumiya Shrine, the road splits into two,
leading to two powerful power spots.

One is the "Keystone,"
buried deep underground beneath Kashima Shrine,
and in the event of a major earthquake,
the other is the "Mitarai Pond,"
which has long been used as a place for purification rituals,
from which 400,000 liters of pure water springs forth daily.

The water in the pond is so clear you can see the bottom,
and just watching the carp is enough to make you feel sacred.

You can also draw water from the slope at the back.
