Awesome place. It was just me when I visited here in the afternoon (weekday).

Be aware that it's really far away from Hiroshima, and a good 20 minutes walk from the station. And there are only three snakes to look at. But for me, I really liked it, because the white snake is a special sign for me, so the long way didn't matter for me. There is a shrine, working, so you can pray, get a prophecy, and even get the stamp if you collect those. Prophecies are also shaped as little white snakes. There are also omamori with the skin of a white snake, and for the time I was in there I could even purchase a full length of a white snake skin. Makes me feel a little like orochimaru right now). What is also really important, the snakes are very well taken care of, they have a big enclosure in the shade, an air moisturizer, and a thermometer inside the enclosure to make sure that the environment is good for the snakes.

It was enjoyable. The white snakes in the fenced area are hibernating. However, in the miniature museum you can see some really cute white snakes. Oh! And their stamp books are beautiful.

Even though it was the new year and many people were there, it was still peaceful.

White Snake Shrine- This shrine does have the goshuin. It also has exhibits of several white snakes, indoor and outdoors. A small gift shop.
