Ninoe Jinja Shrine along Furukawa Shinsui Koen Park
Ninoe Jinja Shrine is a shrine standing along Furukawa Shinsui Koen Park.
Seeing from the park, it looks very mysterious that the back yard of the
shrine is covered with thick woods, but it looks very beautiful with the
main hall of the shrine in the deep end of the approach with red lanterns
and tall green pine trees while seeing from the main gate. There are many
tall pine trees standing in the site and a 500 years-old giant zelkova
tree standing in the back yard of it. They look excitingly beautiful under
the blue sky.
Ninoe Jinja Shrine and Furukawa Shinsui Koen Park, Myoshoji Temple are very close, and they create a green belt like an oasis.
