Detailed itinerary
1
A sightseeing spot with a full field of flowers with the sea in the background. A mini-zoo, athletic facilities, and a wheelbarrow are available for young and old to enjoy.
The "long swing" is popular among young people for its photogenic view over the flower garden, which gives the sensation of jumping out to sea. The large track is very exhilarating!

Stop 2
In fact, the main hall is currently undergoing its first major renovation in 124 years.
This is the "temporary hall" built in front of the main hall, where the spirit of Michizane also moved in during the period of major renovation (about 3 years from May 2023).
The roof has a dynamic appearance with grass and trees growing on it.
The temporary hall was designed by architect Sousuke Fujimoto, who is also the producer of the venue design for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, and the interior design, sound, and lighting were created by contemporary creators.

If you want to make your wish come true, we recommend the "Godairikiishi" located at "Goshogozen" in the south of the first main shrine! If you want to make your wish come true, we recommend the "Godai Rikiishi" located in a place called "Goshogozen" on the south side of the first main shrine.
This Goshogozen is a sacred spot said to be the place where Sumiyoshi Daijin was first enshrined when he was enthroned about 1,800 years ago. It is said that if you find a pebble there with the words "Go," "Dai," and "Riki" painted on it and make it your charm, you will receive strength, wisdom, wealth, fortune, and longevity.
If you find a pebble with three characters on it, put it in your amulet and take it home.
If your wish comes true, it is customary to double the size of the stone and return it to Goshogozen together with the stone you picked up.
