This is the main shrine of Konosu City, where the legend of the konotori (stork), also believed to be the origin of the cities name, has been handed down to this day.

At the end of the year, they hold a Tori no Ichi fair (festival celebrating good fortune and business prosperity).

A truly spectacular and scenic view of red, pink, and orange poppies blooming all around you.
