Within a 10-minute walk of Shirotori Shrine, visitors can join a local-led morning purification ritual, including temizu cleansing and coin offerings. Beyond the shrine, a quiet trail leads to a century-old cherry blossom grove—perfect for spring visits with its pink canopy. A special highlight is the "Paper Crane Blessing" event, where guests write wishes on cranes hung on sacred trees. These authentic experiences reflect the spiritual heart of Shikoku and are available seasonally through HopeGoo’s curated event listings.
Begin your day at Shirotori Lodge, where you can witness the morning mist framing the shrine’s torii gate. Join the daily 5:30 AM blessing ceremony followed by a Shikoku pottery workshop using local clay. In the afternoon, hike along the river trail to Yahata Mountain Ancient Path, passing a hidden shrine with a Heian-era stone tablet. Conclude with the evening lantern lighting ritual at the shrine’s pond, where lights shimmer like a starlit lake.
