Facility summary and accessibility conditions

It's an old shrine for Ebisu, known as the Spirit of Luck.
The main shrine is built in the "mihozukuri style," which is a rare style featuring two conjoined taishazukuri shrines, also designated as an important cultural national property.
Meanwhile, Ebisu is known as a Spirit found of musical instruments.
Therefore, various instruments, including the oldest music box in Japan are offered to the shrine.
In April and December, there's a representative ceremony of the Izumo myth.
Next to the Miho Shrine, there's a narrow bluish stone paved path, called Aoishidatamidōri.
The buildings and stores along that path convey the elegance of old time.
