Miwa-jinja

The shrine I visited is Miwa-jinja, located in Miyamoto-cho, Kiryu City. This shrine is said to bring blessings for matchmaking and academic success, and is particularly revered by young people. The precincts are beautifully maintained and soothe the hearts of visitors. It is a historic shrine passed down from ancient times, and a silence that conveys the weight of its history permeates the air. Many people visit to pray for good relationships and academic improvement.
