    small but meaningful

    a small shrine for some local dignitaries I think. no english translation at the site but I guess to be allowed to be honoured here you must be someone special. only takes a couple of minutes to see.

    It is the oldest historical shrine in Kumamoto. A part of the row of cedar trees, which is said to have been planted around Kiyomasa Kato, remains on the long approach from the Otorii gate to the shrine. Behind the precincts, a ring was also made so that sumo could be performed.
