You can take pictures of people visiting the shrine, which has a gorgeous decoration, even when no one is around. There aren't many people in the general public during the day on Saturdays and Sundays, so I think I'll be able to take pictures of scenes that I wouldn't normally be able to take...!

Kaguraden is the place where the Manji-kai, which also appears in Higashi Ribe, was formed! You can also recreate scenes from the manga by bringing a transparent chair, etc., and sitting on a pillar to create a viewing angle that allows you to see the scene.
The pictures of the pine trees are very nice, so we recommend taking photos with this as a backdrop.

You can also take photos in front of the quaint warehouse, where you can enjoy a slightly decadent photo shoot.
If you pose in Japanese cosplay in front of this warehouse, you'll be able to take some atmospheric photos...!

In the spring, as you walk through the green alley where azaleas bloom, you will come to the statue of the Seven Lucky Gods.
The alley allows you to take pictures with the greenery in the background, so you can capture a different scene from the shrine and kagura halls!

After passing through the torii gate, there is a relaxing space on the right with a Japanese-style atmosphere with a bamboo forest in the background, so you can take photos here as well!
It seems to be a popular spot for wedding photography, so if you bring your own Japanese umbrella, you might be able to take some quaint photos.

We also have permission to take photos in the parking lot, torii gates, and staircase areas.
Please do not obstruct the passage of other participants, and if there are parked cars, please avoid the vicinity of the cars while enjoying the photo session.
