[Kagawa Trip] Increase your luck at Konpira-san! Enjoy shopping on the approach to the shrine!

The most popular tourist spot in Kagawa! Introducing Konpira-san, a shrine famous for its long stairs that everyone should visit at least once! Konpira-san (Kotohira Shrine) is a shrine located in Kotohira Town, Kagawa Prefecture, and is officially called "Konpira Shrine (Konpira-gu)". It is one of the most famous shrines in Japan, and is known mainly as a place to pray for safe voyages and prosperity in business. The biggest feature is the "Konpira-san Stone Steps" that you have to climb to worship! There are a total of 1,368 steps, and since the main shrine is at the top of the mountain, you need a lot of physical strength to worship. There are also several small shrines and rest areas along the way, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while worshiping. It has been famous as a famous spot visited by many worshippers since ancient times, so there are many souvenir shops and restaurants on the approach and in the surrounding area, and it is also a lively tourist destination. You can buy udon and sweets cheaply, so it was fun to look for souvenirs! There are many different sweets on sale, but my recommendation is the soft serve ice cream sprinkled with colorful oiri sweets, a specialty of Kagawa Prefecture! It looks cute and has a gentle sweetness that will soothe your tired body! Konpira-san is truly a landmark of Shikoku. If you come to Kagawa, be sure to visit! #DomesticTravelStrategy
