Old Buildings of Yanagino Yashiro

Yanagino Yashiro Shrine is located at the trailhead to reach Ono Castle in Fukui. At the back of the shrine grounds stand two very old buildings. You can also find a small, pretty Inari Shrine guarded by two tiny fox statues. Although they are old, they appeared to be well-maintained and preserved. There is also a very beautiful main prayer hall in current use nearby. Before walking up the hill to see the castle, I recommend exploring the shrine grounds and paying homage to these old buildings that still stand after so many years!
