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

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

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