🌿 Hidden Gem in Ito: Ito Park & Kashima Shrine ⛩️
Just a 5-minute walk from Ito Station, Ito Park is a peaceful escape with stunning views of the town below.
Nestled inside the park is Kashima Shrine, dedicated to Takemikazuchi, the deity of swords and thunder. Despite its powerful guardian, this shrine remains a quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot. Originally located by the sea, it was relocated here in 1871 after a fire.
Whether you’re looking for a scenic rest stop or have some time before your train, this spot is worth a visit! 🚶♂️✨
