Why You Should Visit

An autumn open day at Shima Shrine in Nakanoshima, Wakayama City. On this day only, a Shinto priest leads visitors up into the worship hall every 30 minutes, and a fun corner offers shrine-made games, workshops and stalls selling traditional dagashi snacks. You can also hear the shrine's story about its ginkgo tree, and entry is free. Children of primary-school age and under can receive sweets while supplies last, making it an easy stop for local families.
