Kanzaki Shrine, steeped in the legend of Emperor Jinmu's landing, is a historic site known for hosting the Kamesaki Shiohi Festival, which concludes the spring float festival season. The shrine is a popular destination for family visits, especially for blessings like *miyamairi* (baby's first shrine visit) and *mushiyoke* (protection against childhood ailments). Located in Handa, Aichi Prefecture, it's a 10-minute walk from Kamesaki Station on the JR Taketoyo Line. Visitors can also enjoy scenic views of Kinuura Bay from the shrine grounds and explore the nearby Kamesaki Castle ruins. The best time to visit is during the Kamesaki Shiohi Festival in early May to witness the vibrant float processions.
