Ikutama Inari Shrine
One of the largest Inari shrines in the Nagoya area, said to have been founded around 1200. It enshrines the Inari Gosha Daimyojin, deities of the essentials of life, clothing, food, and shelter. It is also said to be a guardian deity that connects all kinds of bonds, including business ties and relationships between men and women, and as a god of guidance, grants a wide range of blessings from traffic safety to guidance in life.
This place has that quiet, peaceful feel of a small Japanese shrine. The red torii gates stretch all the way up, and the atmosphere is incredibly serene.

Negoro-ji Temple
Negoro-ji Temple is the head temple of the Shingi Shingon school, located in Iwade City in northern Wakayama Prefecture, with a tradition spanning Approx. 900 years since its founding. The grounds are vast, covering 3.5 million square meters, and include many historically significant buildings, such as the Important Cultural Property Dendenpo-do Hall, which enshrines three statues including Dainichi Nyorai, also an Important Cultural Property. The National Treasure Daito Pagoda, measuring 40 meters tall and 15 meters wide, is among the largest in Japan.
The entire temple area is massive and so quiet. The moment you step in, it feels like you’re surrounded by history.
Cherry blossoms in spring, gorgeous fall colors in autumn—everything looks amazing in photos.
Perfect for taking your time, strolling around, and just unwinding. -
