Dating back to the 8th century, Tsuki Shrine in Urawa offers a whimsical departure from standard shrine aesthetics thanks to its deep association with the moon and its divine rabbit messengers. Visitors will find charming stone bunnies guarding the entrances and dotting the peaceful grounds in place of conventional komainu statues. Curiously missing the typical red torii gates and pine trees due to fascinating local legends, the shrine carries an aura of distinctive charm. Because its name also puns on the Japanese word for good luck, it remains a beloved stop for athletes and travelers seeking a burst of fortune.
