Booking Kanazawa Authentic Shinto-Experience

bnr-booking

Yasue Hachimangu Shrine, which is only a 5-minute walk from Kanazawa Station, is a historic shrine established in 939 AD, and was revered by the Maeda family of the Kaga Domain during the Edo period.

The concept of this product is for people to experience Shinto, which is the keyword for knowing “the Japanese way of thinking, the foundation of the heart,” in a special place with a long history. The Shinto priests themselves entertain participants in English, and ask them to experience the safety and wonderful encounters of the participants through praying for the traditional craft “Kaga Hachiman Uprising.”
