You may as well visit it if you are in the area, but it's a rather modest shrine all in all. Hardly worth a deviation if you are in a hurry

Very cool shrine. Check it out when you visit Mito.

Came here for a short trip with classmates. This temple doesn't have sprawling grounds like Meiji Jinggu, Kiyomizudera or Engkakuji types but it serves its' purpose of what a typical Japanese temple does - offering prayers & omikuji (note: it is written in Japanese only, no English translation) to devotees.

Tucked away near Mito Station this shrine offers a pleasant place to visit. After climbing up an impressive staircase you find yourself in the shrine grounds and the sounds of the city fade away. After praying head over and grab an omikuji then explore the grounds. Definitely on my list of places to visit whenever I'm in Mito.

It's a small shrine with a pretty golden gate. There are several events throughout the year. If you visit Mito, I recommend taking a look, is very close to the station.
