Less than 10 minutes from Kamata Station is the local Hieta Shrine. Since it is not so famous, it is a peaceful place suitable for relaxing. One of the enshrined deities here is the sun goddess, Amaterasu Oomikami, considered to be the creator of the Japanese people. On the right-hand side of the main structure there are three smaller shrines with their own torii gate. By one of the shrines there is a small pond with “pure water” written in kanji. In the pond you can see tiny fishes swimming actively.
