Kehijingu

Kehi Jingu is an ancient shrine known as "Echizen's Ichinomiya" and "the Guardian Shrine of the Hokuriku Road," dedicated to seven deities. It is believed to have been established in 702 AD, and one of its iconic structures, a wooden torii gate, is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, alongside those of Kasuga Taisha and Itsukushima Shrine. The shrine grounds boast a spring known as "Chomeisui," famous for having been visited by the renowned haiku poet Matsuo Basho. Every September, the Tsuruga Festival takes place, a lively event filled with numerous stalls. With its beautiful scenery throughout the seasons and historical allure, Kehi Jingu is cherished by many visitors.
