Kifune Jinja Shrine

Kifune-jinja Shrine (also known as Kibune-jinja) is the main sightseeing attraction in the quaint village of Kibune.

The approach to Kifune-jinja Shrine (or Kibune-jinja Shrine) is impossibly atmospheric — a lovely flight of stone steps lined with red lanterns. The main buildings are attractive, but it’s really the setting here that makes the magic. Don’t miss this lovely little shrine as your tour the beautiful hamlet of Kibune. It’s about midway along the village.
