Omiwa Shrine

Description

One of Japan's oldest shrines. While there is no main hall dedicated Mt. Miwa, there is a simple front shrine with three torii gates. In addition to being a place of worship for those looking for good harvests and protection from evil, the shrine is also known for its sake brewing. A number of long-established festivals are held here, including the Bokujosai Festival and the Sake Festival.
