Zuijin Gate of Kibitsu Shrine
olive fruitKibitsuhiko Shrine
Kibitsuhiko Shrine is dedicated to Prince Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto, who is known for being the heroine of the tale that, over time, became the famous tale of Momotaro!
The main shrine was rebuilt in 1697. It was built in the Sangensha Nagare architectural style, which is quite beautiful and impressive. Although the nearby Kibitsu Shrine is more famous, I think Kibitsuhiko Shrine is impressive enough to make it a worthwhile stop. Of course, the shrines are close enough, you can easily see them both, even on foot.
Entrance to the shrine is free, and it takes about 20 minutes to see and enjoy the entire shrine.
