Ikku Shrine stone lion
Ikku Shrine is a large and venerable Shintō shrine in the centre of Niihama. During the Niihama Taikodai Festival, the taikodai juggernauts gather in the precincts of the shrine. Although it’s located in the centre of the city adjacent to the government office district and along the main road, it has a quiet, verdant atmosphere. It has some magnificent stone lions too.
