The charm of Takejinja Shrine in Meiwa-cho: the harmony of history and nature
Takejinja Shrine is a shrine with a long history in Meiwa Town and is beloved by locals.
In particular, the beautiful flower chozu (water basin) and seasonal scenery attract many worshippers. The flower chozu (water basin) is popular as a photogenic spot, with flowers changing with the seasons.
A walk through the grounds surrounded by bamboo forest will soothe your soul.
After worshiping at the shrine, we recommend taking a break at the cafe "Shokupan to Coffee Daidai," located just a few minutes' walk away.
What is "Orange Bread and Coffee" in front of Takejinja Shrine?
"Shokupan to Coffee Daidai" is a cafe located right next to Takejinja Shrine in Meiwa Town, and serves homemade bread and carefully selected coffee.
The interior of the restaurant, which was renovated from an old house built in the Meiji period, has a calm atmosphere where you can spend your time leisurely.

As the name of the shop suggests, their toast and sandwiches made with homemade bread are popular.
You can enjoy freshly baked bread during breakfast and lunchtime.
The coffee is made using carefully selected beans and each cup is carefully brewed, making it a perfect match with bread.
They also have a wide selection of light meals and sweets on the menu, making them a perfect place for tea time.

Located right in front of Takejinja Shrine, it is the perfect place to take a break after visiting the shrine.
