Go straight from the south of Sakurai Station, and on your way to Abe Monju-in Temple, there is a shrine that looks like an ancient temple at the end of the stairs that you can look up at. When you go up to the precincts, you will find a slightly rundown worship hall and main shrine.

Wakasa Shrine and its office are located at the entrance to the forest road Yamashiro Line that leads to Wakasa Onigajo Ruins. Wakasa Shrine feels like a very old and venerable shrine. Historically, it first appeared in the Kamakura period and the Nanbokucho period. Wakasa Onigajo also survived the Kamakura period, the Northern and Southern States, and the Sengoku period. For 16 years from the Keicho era to the Genna era, the castle lord Iemori Yamazaki and his son Ieharu made donations to Wakasa Shrine. During the subsequent reign of the Ikeda family, the Ikeda family dedicated their first fruits to Wakasa Shrine. Inside the shrine grounds, there are endless stone steps leading up to the red gate and then to the worship hall. It's not exact, but it's around 180 steps. Is there an 800 year old tree in front of the worship hall? A forest of large trees stands out and gives off a fragrant and cool air. The trunk is so thick that 4 to 5 adults can hold it. Is there a waterway in the precincts and spring water? The water flows freely and abundantly into a pond dug in the corner next to the shrine, which is full of water and continues to flow downward. The sound of flowing water echoes in the quiet precincts, making it feel even more sacred. The autumn leaves are a little more advanced than other places.

There was no parking lot. The precincts were very beautiful and had a calming feeling.

Only about 2 cars can be parked in front of the torii gate, but after climbing about 200 stone steps, you will arrive at the main hall of the worship hall.Everything, including the guardian dogs, has a sense of history.The atmosphere has changed.The area next to the torii gate below is now a shrine office. However, he was away when I visited. There was a separate shrine next to the torii gate for those who could not visit Wakasa Benzaiten (Ejima Shrine).
