It feels like an isolated place that visitors could enjoy break time to forget everyday life as there are many cherry and black pine trees planted in this small shrine. Some of the black pine trees expose their roots on the earth, they look like some spirits of trees in fairy tales, so they would dance while watching them for a long. These pine trees are called 'Neagari no Matsu', one in Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa Ishikawa prefacture is famous, although the pine trees in Kasuga Jinja are not as magnificent as it in Kenrokuen, they look dancing with their roots like legs in the small site.
