[2025 Tsuruoka Attraction] Travel Guide for Shonai Shrine (Updated Aug)

#aprilblooms Located in Tsuruoka Park with beautiful cherry blossom trees along the moat, the Shonai Shrine was founded in the ruins of the former Honmaru of Tsurugaoka Castle by the people of Shonai who adored the former lord of the domain in Meiji 10 (1877) after the Meiji Restoration. The four successive lords of the Shonai Domain are enshrined as enshrined deities, and it is familiar to the people of the Shonai area from its founding to today by the nickname "Shinja Han". "Hanachozu" has been a hot topic in recent years. Just looking at the seasonal flowers floating in the water seems to be healing. In addition, there is also a "water lottery" where the results will emerge if you float a fortune in the water, so be sure to try fortune-telling when you visit.

Founded in 1877 on the former site of Tsurugaoka Castle. The lord of the Sakai clan is enshrined here. The treasure exhibition displayed weapons, arts and crafts related to the lord. There were also many fortune-telling slips, and I received one in the shape of a rabbit, the zodiac sign of the year. The shrine office distributed commemorative goshuin and votive plaques in collaboration with Touken Ranbu ONLINE. The vibrant floral designs were lovely. It's a small shrine, but it's a place where you can feel at peace. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Shonai Shrine ꕥAddress: 4-1 Babacho, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚉Tsuruoka Station → approx. 27 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Shonai Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour #Yamagata Tourism

There are two small garden landscapes inside, one is a small mountain and flowing water, and the other is similar to the garden scenery of Ginkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. There is something very healing about sitting quietly. #Shōnai Shrine
