In the very heart of bustling Aomori city, just a short walk from the station, Utou-jinja is an appealing shrine that packs a diversity of features into a small space. Behind the main hall there's a tranquil garden with a fountain shaped like a dragon's head and a carp pond spanned by bright red bridges, while some of the other halls have lively detail carved under the eaves.
Utou-jinja Shrine, Aomori
A restful sanctuary in the heart of the city
커뮤니티라이터
Golden lotuses adorn the bridge
The main gate and approach
A hardy turtle supports a pillar in the parking lot by the entrance
The main hall comes into view as you walk towards the gate
The main hall
Prayers and wishes
A small arched bridge spans the neck of the lotus pond
A lion stands sentinel by the shrine buildings
More distinctive white on the gate and lanterns
Purify yourself with water from this fierce-looking creature
On a clearer day the reflection would have been exquisite
Some buildings have striking dragons carved under the eaves
And some dragons are even wrapped around the columns
The buildings are a distinctive white, with a distinctive architectural style
It's easy to forget you're right in the center of a big city
There are smaller gates within the shrine grounds
The red of the bridge stands out among the greenery
Carp in the larger of the ponds
