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

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