Wind chimes and summer go together. Head to Isebe Kakimoto Shrine to hear the layered sounds of 200 handcrafted wind chimes twinkling together.
What happens?
Wander through the “sound corridor”, a passage with two hundred wind chimes crafted using traditional Kishu lacquerware techniques from Wakayama.
Nearby temples also put up wind chimes during the season, including the Uga-be Shrine and Kasuga Shrine (Aug. 1 onwards).
How to get there
The shrine is located a 10 minute-walk from the east exit of Kainan Station.
From Osaka Station, take the Kuroshio Limited Express headed for Shingu. After around 1 hour and 10 minutes, get off at Kainan Station.
