What makes it 41% Baby-Friendly: Babies are welcome, yet strollers snag on steps, and there is no nursing room, diaper table, or hot water; use a carrier and nearby museum facilities if you need feeding or changing.

Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: A short visit lets you see the main gates, pray, and take photos without tiring your baby.
First Torii Gates Stroll:
Walk under the first row of bright red torii gates near the main entrance.
Tip: Stay close to the gate area for a flat, stroller-friendly path.
Quick Shinto Prayer:
Ring the bell, toss a coin, bow twice, clap twice, and pray at the main hall.
Tip: Bring a 5 yen coin for an authentic offering and keep the ceremony under 5 minutes.
Family Make-a-Wish:
Write health or happiness wishes on small fox talismans and hang them by the altar.
Tip: Buy one talisman for baby’s good health and tie it at the stone wishing area.
Photo by the Fox Statue:
Snap a family photo beside the fox statue holding the rice-granary key.
Tip: Use the statue as a focal point; it’s just a few steps from the parking area.

This shrine not allow for take a photo or video recording. Inside very quite. Small shop look like abandoned. Has only one young lady staff for help customer for souvenirs. Bus stop not far from this shrine.

The shrine is pretty but quite small. The path to go there is lined with Torii gates, which made it really mesmerising. It’s in a secluded area that’s quite hard to get to if you don’t have a car, and it was snowing really hard when we visited. We had to walk through the snowstorm to get there 😅 There was barely anyone else there, and we couldn’t write wishes or do much. All we did was pray to th...

Please be respectful. There are at least two signs saying no photos inside the shrine and after the first tori gate. However that doesn't stop people being ugly and bringing in tripods trying to capture photos for their social media. This location is about 10 minutes walking from the bus stop ( uphill walk).
In winter, dress warmly and wear non-slip shoes—paths can be icy. In summer, visit in early morning to avoid heat and crowds.
