【Aizu's Guardian Deity】400 years of prayers guiding success and academics. A must-visit for families: "Hani-tsu Shrine"

Located on the northern side of Lake Inawashiro, "Hani-tsu Shrine" enshrines the successive lords of the Aizu domain. This historic shrine was founded in the 3rd year of Enpo (1675) and has a long history. Overcoming the tragedy of being burned down during the Boshin War, the shrine was magnificently rebuilt in the 13th year of Meiji (1880) and still exudes a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

■ A "resilient power spot" that has overcome a tumultuous history

The unique point of interest here is the regenerative energy that the shrine itself possesses.

• Inner strength: When you visit after knowing this historical background, you can feel that it is not just a quiet space, but one that harbors a strong life force capable of overcoming difficulties.

■ Entrusting the future to the "God of Children and Success"
