Discover the Ancient and Mystical Ishikiri Shrine
Ishikiri Tsurugiya Shrine, with a history of over 2600 years, is affectionately known as "Ishikiri-san" or "the God of Swellings". The shrine is famous nationwide for the ritual of walking back and forth between the main shrine and the entrance where the Hyakudo stone is located. Not only worshippers with wishes for healing illnesses, but also those interested in the famous sword "Ishikiri Maru" visit the shrine.
The name of the shrine is said to mean "sharp swords and arrows that cut stones". Around the shrine, there is a temple town with many shops and fortune-telling stalls, making it a fun spot for sightseeing. The shopping street is lined with pickles, sweets, dumplings, and mochi, among which oden is popular and is available at many restaurants.
The shrine has no worship hall and is directly connected to the main shrine. The corridor between the main shrine and the offering place has a roof, and there is another roof on top of it, making it a rare arcade-style shrine.
Inside the shrine, there is a spiritual pond with many turtles that make you think, "It was a turtle!" The praying turtles, made of pottery, can hold your wishes inside their bellies.
The Ishikiri Corridor in front of the torii gate of Ishikiri Shrine is known as a commercial facility planned by students of the Faculty of Architecture, Kinki University, and is the starting point of the Ishikiri Sando Shopping Street. This facility aims to create a town that is healthy in both mind and body through food and healing, and is home to cafes and souvenir shops. Why not refresh both your mind and body?
