A shrine that is nicknamed by people in the Shonai area

#aprilblooms Located in Tsuruoka Park with beautiful cherry blossom trees along the moat, the Shonai Shrine was founded in the ruins of the former Honmaru of Tsurugaoka Castle by the people of Shonai who adored the former lord of the domain in Meiji 10 (1877) after the Meiji Restoration. The four successive lords of the Shonai Domain are enshrined as enshrined deities, and it is familiar to the people of the Shonai area from its founding to today by the nickname "Shinja Han". "Hanachozu" has been a hot topic in recent years. Just looking at the seasonal flowers floating in the water seems to be healing. In addition, there is also a "water lottery" where the results will emerge if you float a fortune in the water, so be sure to try fortune-telling when you visit.
