The main feature of Nanakura Shrine, located in Noshiro City, is undoubtedly its weathered 43-step stone staircase that serves as a "prayer path" for devout worshipers. This path, which is steeped in the legend of Abe no Hirafu tying up his boat, is beloved as a place to purify the minds and bodies of visitors. Climbing the historic stone steps will lead you to a mystical space where your faith will deepen even further.
