参拝のヒント
For visitors seeking a unique experience, be sure to purchase a 'Sakaki' (tree) at the entrance gift shop and bring it back to the shrine's forest area to be offered as a prayer. This practice is believed to have originated from an ancient ritual where the tree was planted by Saka-dera-no-kami.
