Beautiful and majestic place From web site; Kashima Jingu is a historic shrine founded in the first year of Emperor Jimmu, enshrining Takemikazuchi Omikami, the god of Japan's founding and martial arts.

Super Recommend place!! Traditional temple was built in 600BC. Very nice atmosphere. The pond behind (actually go down) from the temple is very perfect. Water is superb.

Extremely beautiful, the atmosphere is serene and reverent. A must if you're ever in the area. (The 団子 at the shrine's restaurant is delicious!)

A religious site for Japanese, calming forest, and nice atmosphere. You can find deers and shop traditional charms things and also foods/beverages.

You get to see where there is a huge rock planted deep to stop awful earthquakes from happening; many shrines to visit; good food restaurants, plenty of parking space areas nearby for about 800 yen; very friendly environment, many people who can speak English to help with tourism.
