 Usually, jinjas are protected by guardian dogs.

so it takes 20 minutes walk from the parking. 

The inner sanctuary is behind the building which is not opened to the public.

 This is called "o-mamori". It is a kind of charm.

Omamories are sold in many shrines and temples.

This Omamori of Mitsumine jinja has the piece of the sacred tree.
