【JAPAN VR180】Takekoma Shrine Summer Wind Chimes

Takekoma Shrine (竹駒神社) in Iwanuma, Miyagi Prefecture, is one of Japan’s three great Inari shrines. Founded in 842, it has long been a place of prayer for prosperity, harvest, and protection.

Every summer, the shrine transforms with hundreds of colorful glass wind chimes (furin). Their gentle tones sway in the breeze, creating a refreshing sound that carries the wishes of visitors written on tanzaku paper strips. From the iconic fox guardians at the entrance to the fox-shaped ema prayer plaques and the peaceful mini shrines scattered throughout the grounds, Takekoma Shrine offers a unique blend of tradition and seasonal beauty.

This video captures the magical atmosphere of the wind chime event in stunning VR180, allowing you to walk through the shrine, hear the soothing chimes, and experience the harmony of Japanese summer traditions.
