Ishikiri Tsurugiya Jinja

This shrine is a must-visit for its meaningful customs and reputation for healing and protection. It is particularly known for the 100 Rounds ritual, where visitors walk around the two stones 100 times while praying to seek blessings for health and recovery from illnesses. This practice, which takes about an hour at a moderate pace, symbolizes perseverance and sincerity.

While the shrine is a bit of a walk from the nearest train stations, the journey is made enjoyable by charming alleys lined with local shops and eateries, adding to the overall experience.
