Within the shrine grounds stands a sacred camphor tree (Ōkusu) that is over 2,000 years old and designated as a National Natural Monument. It is considered one of Japan’s most powerful spiritual spots. Legend has it that walking around the trunk once will extend one's lifespan by a year, attracting many visitors who slowly circle the tree while making wishes. Despite being a traditional shrine, Kinomiya Shrine features a refined and modern design throughout its grounds, with beautiful nighttime illuminations enhancing its serene atmosphere. Additionally, the shrine’s café, "Saryō Hōko," offers delightful local specialties such as matcha sweets from Shizuoka and the shrine’s original "Mugikogashi Soft Cream (麦こがしソフトクリーム)"—perfect for a refreshing break after your visit.
