Ontake Haruna Shrine 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 A shrine in Honmachi, Wako City. There is an apartment complex called CI Heights behind it, so you can walk through it, and there is a constant stream of people passing by the shrine. A shrine worshipped by a group from the Hara Shinden area who worshipped the Joshu Haruna Shrine, which was located next to the tracks of the Tobu Tojo Line.
