A summer shrine blowing away your stress🎐 (Photos from previous years)
Wakamiya Hachimansha Shrine is Nagoya’s keeper of peace and quiet and holds its summer highlight once again: the Wind Chime Festival✨ The main torii gate, water basin used to wash and purify your hands, Wakamiya Ryujinsha Shrine, and other spots on the premises are adorned with colorful glass wind chimes ringing cool sounds into the summer breeze🎐 During the event period, you can write your wish on a narrow sheet of paper and tie it to one of the Flower Wind Chimes.
And don’t miss Mikoromo Jinja Shrine, known for bringing couples together and improving sewing abilities, or Renri Inarisha Shrine, which offers matrimonial happiness, as you enjoy a cool walk through this must-visit summer Shinto shrine ⛩️✨
