Kikko Shrine

VERY NICE SHRINE

Can't be missed if going from bridge to castle (ropeway) and worth the time to look-see. Very stately among shrines.

Quiet and mysterious precincts

Original Text

It is a shrine that enshrines the ancestor of the Yoshikawa family, the lord of the Iwakuni domain. When you cross the moat beside the ropeway foot station, you will find the first torii gate, the Shinmon gate, the hall of worship, the Heiden, and the main shrine in a straight line. The precincts surrounded by stone lanterns and old trees were mysterious. The hall of worship was a cypress bark roof with a wife of Irimoya, and the Chidori hafu in front was a solid and stately landscape.
