Whatever the belief system or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Visit Awashima Shrine and share a moment of silence with the locals.
Situated in Wakayama, this sacred place is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find a great deal more to explore in the area. Aeon Mall Wakayama, Kada Beach, and Kadakasuga Shrine are within easy reach of Awashima Shrine.
