Cultural notes
Subaru-jinja is believed to be the residence of the kami Amaterasu-Ōmikami, who is revered as a protector of women and children. The shrine's garden features several stone lanterns, which are said to ward off evil spirits. During the spring festival, visitors can participate in a traditional ritual called 'matsuri-ki,' where they tie ribbons on the trees in exchange for good luck.
