About
11th-century shrine nestled in a cave where money is washed to attract prosperity.
This unusual Shinto shrine, founded in the 11th century, hides at the back of a cave accessible through a stone tunnel. A sacred spring allows visitors to wash bills and coins in a ritual believed to multiply wealth. The site's mystical atmosphere, vermillion torii, and hanging lanterns make it truly distinctive.
