[Niiza] A hidden gem of a shrine with beautiful and cute goshuin stamps!

I'd like to introduce a photogenic shrine that I recently came across. The shrine is Baba Hikawa Shrine. It's located near the Niiza toll gate on the Kan'etsu Expressway⛩️. It's not a very well-known shrine, there's no station, and it's a little further away than a residential area🏘️. But the scenery is completely different‼️ The main hall was decorated with colorful umbrellas☂️, and colorful flowers were placed💐. The flower water basin was also decorated beautifully and cutely, and there were cat🐈 figurines placed here and there. After looking into it, I found out that it's a popular shrine⛩️ for its beautiful and cute goshuin, with cats drawn on them, and on seasonal and event days, goshuin related to them are created, and many limited goshuin are sold. In terms of location, it's inconvenient, so I guess only locals and cat lovers know about it? I felt it was rare to see such attention to detail in creating the goshuin and decorating the grounds so gorgeously‼ ️ It may become even more popular from now on, so why not visit Baba Hikawa Shrine early and enjoy it?
