The purple curtains of wisteria which cover 200 m2 of the Onakatomi Jinja Shrine’s grounds are known as Shogun Fuji. From mid-April to early May, many visit the shrine’s wisteria festival. It might also interest visitors to know that although there are 34 shrines in Ogori City, this is the only one with a tower gate.
