[Aichi Prefecture/Utari Shrine] A shrine where you can enjoy searching for rabbits

I heard that there are many hidden rabbits, and since 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, I went there! A shrine that stands in the middle of a peaceful landscape. It is an ancient shrine that is said to have been founded in the late 7th century and is pronounced "Utari". There are countless rabbits scattered all over the place. The shrine office is open only on the 1st and the morning of the 15th. On the days when they are not there, the shrine seals are placed inside the shrine building. In the midst of all this, I discovered a huge mikoshi rabbit 🐇✨! There is a paper with a simple explanation on how to find the other rabbits inside the shrine building. I have visited several rabbit-related shrines, but I think this shrine has the most rabbits of all the ones I know! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Uta⃝shrine 🚉Kozakai Station →🚶‍♀️6 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Uta⃝shrine #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Aichi Prefecture tourism #Aichi trip
