Ishiura Shrine, the oldest shrine in Kanazawa

Ishiura Shrine is located near Kenrokuen Garden and 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. It is the oldest shrine in Kanazawa and is popular, especially among young women, as it is said to bring good luck for marriage, since it is said that "everything comes full circle" when you visit the shrine. The shrine's amulets are decorated with cute polka dots, and the paper bags for the amulets match the colors of the amulets, attracting even more attention.

Tunnel by fortune...

Speaking of shrines, amulets and omikuji are the two most popular items at shrines. You draw your omikuji and tie it, but you will be surprised when you look at the left side of the shrine. There are so many omikuji that you can't even count them. It was like a tunnel of omikuji. It must be a popular spot, as I wondered how many people came to visit the shrine. It is overwhelming.
These are all omikuji!

Kanazawa's power spot is a reflection spot

The shrine grounds are lined with 101 vermilion torii gates, each about 50 meters long. Between the torii gates and the omikuji tunnel, colorful lanterns are decorated. The scene is like a balloon floating in the air. Chairs and tables are set up under the lanterns for visitors to take a break. The shrine has many unique features not found in other shrines, making it seem as if you are in a magical space. How about adding this new Kanazawa power spot and popular photo spot to your Kanazawa city center stroll?
The colorful lanterns are wonderful!
