[Hiratsuka] Hiratsuka Hachiman Shrine, the shrine where the duck god resides

📍Hiratsuka Hachiman Shrine About a 20-minute walk from Hiratsuka Station🚶 There is also parking for a few cars🚗 This shrine is said to be home to many gods, including the Seven Lucky Gods, Benzaiten Shrine and Tsurumineyama Inari. The shrine offers a variety of benefits, including safety in the home, prosperity in business, road safety, improvement in the arts, bountiful harvests, protection from misfortune, protection from all directions, first shrine visit, safe childbirth, Shichigosan, and car purification. There is a beautiful pond inside the shrine, where ducks, geese, and turtles swim comfortably. The ducks also come onto land and walk freely around the grounds, so you're sure to be soothed by their appearance. There is also a horse that seems to bring good fortune, but depending on the time of day, it is taking a break. You can draw a horse fortune nearby, so if the horses are working, please come. In the summer, hydrangeas bloom beautifully and wind chimes decorate the grounds, creating a cool atmosphere. It's a place of worship, but the animals are also soothing, so it's a healing spot in a sense 🪿🦆 #absolutelyfreetrip
