Whatever the faith or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Check out Orihime Shrine and share a silent moment with the locals.
You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Ashikaga. Orihime Shrine is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are plenty of other worthwhile places to enjoy. Ashikaga Flower Park, Gunma Children's Land, and Coco Winery and Farm are near the sacred place and will fill in your day nicely.
