All Reviews of Usa Jingu Shrine

I visited Usa Jingu Shrine twice. The grounds are really quite large, and you can also look for heart-shaped patterns on the stone slabs. After walking for a while, I reached the main shrine. The vermilion buildings are really beautiful after the renovation. If you get the chance, come take a stroll. You can also buy limited-edition amulets.

I visited in mid-December and the autumn leaves were absolutely beautiful!

The grounds are pretty spacious, so even if you move quickly, it takes about an hour to see everything.

There's a spot called the 'Meoto Ishi' that's said to bring good luck for relationships and marriage. I almost missed it because I thought it was a big rock, but it's actually two triangular stones set in the ground (there's a sign!).

I also bought some 'Usa Ame' on the approach to the shrine. It's a board-shaped candy made only from malt and glutinous rice. The natural sweetness is really addictive and delicious! But be careful—it's super hard, so watch out if you have sensitive teeth!!!
