Taro Shrine, located on the slopes of Akakamin-yama at an elevation of 350m, is affectionately known as 'Taro-bo-san' and has been a place of worship for a deity that grants victory and happiness for 1400 years. From the observation deck in front of the main hall, visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery that changes with the seasons, attracting many people who wish to catch a glimpse of the stunning views. The approach to the shrine is lined with cherry blossom trees, creating a floral tunnel that welcomes its visitors.
