One of Atami's most important shrines, Kinomiya-jinja is an attractive, atmospheric place. Set in forest near Kinomiya station, there are vivid crimson gates, side shrines with intricate decorative wooden carvings, trees that are thousands of years old - the name does mean 'Shrine of wood' - and portable shrines on display, as well as more modern amenities for visitors, a terrace and a cafe.
