Hisaizu Shrine 久伊豆神社 越谷総鎮

Recommended for wisteria and good fortune

The founding of this shrine is lost in time, but it's suggested that this one dates back to the Heian era. It's a spot that drew samurai to dedicate swords. I recommend approaching the shrine from the Motoara River where the shrine gate stands and you can walk through a park to the shrine itself. The best time to go is in wisteria season at the end of April and into early May. The wisteria vines here are designated as a prefectural natural monument.
