A veritable forest of trees grows on the vast, 44,000 square meter shrine grounds. Passing through them and then the tower gate will bring you to the shrine buildings themselves. Furthermore, the "Sagicho Matsuri" bonfire festival and "Hachiman Matsuri" festival held here are both designated Intangible Folk Culture Properties.
