Sankoinari Shrine is on the way up the Inuyama hill. Beautiful series of tori gates within the shrine.

Beautiful shrine! We visited on the day of spring equinox. The shrine was decorated with colors and arts for spring celebration.

The Temple or more precisely, Shrine, was traditionally worshipped and respected by the followers and believers for the farming harvest, although it is gradually transformed to be worshipped and prayed for the business and operation harvest. But the Temple even goes further by claiming that worshippers can donate to have candle lightening and then wash their money [notes or changes] in the washing pond inside the shrine. The photos here do show one female worshipper who did wash her money in small pond after candle lightening. The Temple also promotes other worship-and-pray-for-harvest for relations and others, in addition to business. Because the Temple is located near Inuyama Castle, most visitors would visit the Shrine together.

When you climb up hill to Inuyama castle, in the middle there are couple of shrines and this is the most popular one where girls wish for a boyfriend or look for a better relationship. Heart shaped plates with their wishes are hanged a lot there. Also red shrine gate tunnel is small but picturesque.
