[Koujinja Shrine/Saitama Prefecture] Admire the cherry blossoms at a shrine associated with storks

Kono Shrine in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 This shrine is said to have been built around a marshland in the past. It is said that storks used to live there. One day, a stork defeated a giant snake that was trying to swallow a stork's egg🥚. This is called the stork legend, and it is also the inspiration for the place name. At the shrine⛩, there are not lion dogs, but lion storks! Looking up there, you can see Kawazu cherry blossoms🌸, a beautiful pink sight in spring. The cherry blossoms stretching all the way to the approach to the shrine were truly beautiful! 👉 Points of Kou Shrine 🌸 Kawazu cherry blossoms beside the shrine 🌸 Koma storks 🌸 "Wish eggs" that grant wishes ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥ Shrine name: Kou Shrine ꕥ Address: 1-9 Motomiya-cho, Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥ Access 🚉 Hirai Station → Approximately 14 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Sakura spots #Sakura season #Shrine tour
