Tosa-jinja

Tosa-jinja sits in the northern part of Kochi city, among a stand of old trees that muffles city noise and gives the grounds a settled, unhurried atmosphere. The shrine is dedicated to Ajisukitakahikone-no-Mikoto and has connections to Tosa Province's earliest recorded history, making it one of the older established shrines in Shikoku. The main hall and worship buildings have been periodically restored, and the approach road is lined with stone lanterns. The shrine grounds are quiet on most days, with the occasional family visit or local worshipper. Cherry trees near the entrance bloom in spring.
