■ Okazaki Shrine

Okazaki Shrine is a power spot filled with rabbits in the precincts!

It is drawing attention as a fashionable photogenic spot now.
The degree of recognition is still low, and the year other than the year of the rabbit is recommended because it is not too crowded.

It is said that there is a benefit for marriage/couple harmony here.
Originally around this area, there were many rabbits and they were loved as The Gods gave birth to children,
